Pro AngularJS (Expert's Voice in Web Development) 1st ed. Edition

I thought this book was great. For my background and learning style it was a perfect fit.When I read it some months ago, I had only a good working knowledge of Javascript and fairly strong web development skills (i.e., HTML/CSS/JQuery and yes, I already knew Bootstrap). I read the book cover to cover. I liked that the first half of the book focused on building an example app, so that I could get up and running quickly, while the second half was structured more like a detailed reference guide. I found that if I wanted to understand a particular feature or topic more fully, I could peek ahead at the explanations in the second half of the book while I was working through the beginning part of the book. That said, I found that the brief explanations in the beginning of the book were usually just enough for me to grasp the concepts initially. Again, this type of approach might not be ideal for everyone's style of learning, but for me it was.There were a couple of reviewers who didn't care for the examples because Bootstrap was used for formatting. I'm grateful that the author didn't waste any time (or page real estate) creating custom CSS for each one of the examples. Others complained about the fact that the example code used inline script tags. Again, to me, this just makes the examples more concise and readable. I never got the impression that the author was suggesting that that's how you should structure production apps. In fact, throughout most of the first half of the book, the author discusses how you might structure your application's JS files and uses separate files for controllers, directives, filters and services in the main "Sports Store" example application. I also saw several negative comments about the index being poor. I can't really comment on this. I haven't bought an actual book in more than 5 years. Buying the Kindle edition allows for full text searching, plus I can access any of the books in my library right from the browser, my phone or tablet when I need a quick reference (not to mention that it's cheaper and way better for the environment)!I'll admit that I didn't bother with actually going through the environment set up in the book. This seems to be another area that frustrated some reviewers. I already had my own environment, and I tend to just go through the examples in the book then apply the concepts learned to my own examples and use-cases rather than actually working through the book examples. This approach works well for me, but I can understand how some people might want to go through the examples line-by-line. I can also see how for those who have never done it before (especially if they are running Windows), setting up a node server and Deployed might be challenging and frustrating. I wouldn't go so far as to blame the author for that, but I will acknowledge that if you're coming to this cold and you've never done web development before, you might find the instructions for setting up your environment a bit lacking.

Good book that covers a great deal of Angular in detail. I've read some reviews criticizing the use of extended examples and building on the same program without covering the basics first. These reviewers did not pay attention to the author while reading. The first couple chapters are devoted to building a real world angular app to give you an idea of a start-finish project. All of the concepts shown during this tutorial are covered in individual chapters later in the book...some reviewers didn't make it to that point. So you can either try to follow the project and piece together what is going on to give you a general idea....or you can skip to later chapters and look at the detailed broken down explanations of the different parts of Angular. All topics are very well covered with great detail and small examples are provided to illustrate what is going on. The author also has a keen sense on why you're going to get tripped up with something. There were a few times where I was like "wait, how did you get...." and then turned the page to see a highlighted tip on the thing I was having trouble understanding.My only beef with the book is the use of some complex examples to illustrate particular points. It would have helped out to have examples that aren't overly complex with obscure javascript....and focused more on creating a simple understanding of the current topic. That said....if you pay attention and dig into the code you will understand what the author is doing. Sometimes it takes a little work...but the information is all there.Overall a very good and in depth dive into AngularJS.

This is a really good book. Despite of the title indicates it is only for experienced users it is perfectly suitable for beginners of Angular as the first chapters covers the basics. I find his examples very clear and learned a lot from them. I like the way the author stays on topic and reference deeper explanations of sub-topics in other sections of the book instead of trying to explain everything in one place.The book is easy to follow and progress at a steady pace. In fact, when I think about it I can't really come up with anything negative about this book except the title which is misleading. It covers some quite advanced topics, but it takes you there all the way from start...Recommended!

Even if I'm on angular 4/5 right now, I wanted to learn also AngularJs. This book made it easy to understand the subject, very well written. I implemented an infrastructure with asp net core 2 and angularjs (no razor pages) with a custom url rewriter.

Thank you for the great service and item.

Atende bem a quem está começando com AngularJS - que é o meu caso. Não me pareceu ser suficiente para quem esteja querendo conhecer o framework a fundo.

Es un libro completo y accesible, con muchos ejemplos y completísimos explicaciones. Una adquisición imprescindible para los que quieren ahondar en este framework de Javascript en auge en estos años.

Auch wenn das Buch nicht der aktuellen Version 1.3 entspricht, so finde ich es didaktisch sehr gelungen. Beim Setup des ,,Lernsystems'' müssen ein paar Anpassungen vorgenommen werden, aber danach war es mir möglich, dem Buch ohne Probleme zu folgen. Ich bin erst ca. auf Seite 180, aber wenn es in dem Stil weitergeht, kann ich das Buch sehr für Angular-Einsteiger wie mich empfehlen.Es werden sehr viele Codebeispiele gezeigt, welche in sich vollständig laufen, stimmig sind und detailreich erklärt werden. Außerdem wird stets auf die passenden Kapiel verwiesen, in denen tiefergehender auf die jeweiligen Themen eingegangen wird. Insgesamt gefällt es mir besser als manche Web-Resourcen, da das Gesamtkonzept anhand von Beispielanwenungen Schritt für Schritt nähergebracht wird.
