Pro Angular 6 3rd Edition, Kindle Edition

This is just a great book for the Angular developer. It’s comprehensive and authoritative, making it an excellent reference resource. In addition it has a ton of example code, all of which actually works, a pleasant change from a lot a books with similar scope. If you need to apply a particular technique, you can be pretty confident that there’s a working code snippet in one of the chapters that will get you there. A substantial Angular sample application is developed early in the book, and it provides a great context for the later material that describes the framework in detail. I always look to Adam’s books to give me the knowledge and confidence I need to tackle a new technology. My only quibble is that the index could be twice as big; this would help locate topics more easily when it’s time to lay down the code.

Having only minimal knowledge of .asp and html , I ordered this to get acquainted with terminology , syntax and angular web development. It is turning out to be exactly what I needed . He gives great explanations ofhow angular is structured , functions and works behind the scenes .This book is helping me to fill in my knowledge gaps with a training session I am getting at work.He only gives an introduction to CSS and JavaScript so if you need to learn either of those in depth you will need to order additional books for those items, but what he does supply is enough to work through the examples in his book.

I work frequently with VueJS and when I have to with React. A new project I was assigned requires me to write it in Angular 6 which I've been meaning to look in to anyways. This is a very, very long book that goes in to pretty much every Angular 6 feature in detail. I wish there had been a bit more about RxJS/NgRx but I feel like reading this took me from "i don't know anything about Angular 6" to "Time to write some NG6!". I really enjoyed the in depth look at Dependency Injection, along with the authors opinions on things from .tslint settings to DI. Fantastic!

This book is very good - so far I'm about 100 pages in (out of a whopping 760). I think it's the best comprehensive approach to learning the new Angular. I've read a few other books and viewed videos and this book has the depth of the subject matter you want if you really want to be good at it. Things are explained in detail and in a nice logical procession. It goes into a little on html and css, even... but not ad nauseum. The print is a bit small, as others have mentioned, but I just bump up my reading glasses and I'm good..

This book perfectly suits me. The author builds on the fundamentals of JavaScript, HTML and CSS and focuses on how these technologies transformed in the past 20 years resulting in the Angular framework. The book contains plenty of examples, which are easy to follow and the explanations make perfect sense. I definitely recommend this book to those who used to develop web applications long time ago, but aren't up to date with all the modern techniques.

I bought this book mainly as a reference. I went through a bunch of pluralsight courses which are great for getting you up to speed quick but lack compared to books when you need to look up a specific topic. Having said that, the impression I've gotten from the book is that it was written mostly for those wanting to learn Angular from scratch than be used as a reference. Seems that almost every time I've gone to lookup something I've either not been able to find it or couldn't find the depth of knowledge I was looking for. Specifically, I was hoping for a lot more information about the ins and outs of forms, reactive forms, control value accessors. While template-driven forms is definitely covered, reactive forms is mostly skipped and control value accessors is completely missing. While it's not possible to cover everything, and by now there's been many major revisions of Angular, I'm ultimately not getting what I need from the book.

Pretty much does what it was designed for. No complaints.

Excellent book, but requires an update to Angular 8

Good book to start diving into Angular foundation

Ottimo libro.

Helpful to run through an full app example and author goes through enough theory to be useful as a reference. Highly recommend getting. With that said the cons are the following; there is a lack of testing examples, too much use of the repository pattern, the reactive forms chapters seem outdated / non-canonical, don't expect to be an expert based on one book, judicious use of internet documentation will be required once you want to move on from this book.

I enjoyed reading this book. Author has explained in depth on the concepts behind angular functionalities. The way he explained on which role is played by angular, typescript and JavaScript really enlightened me. It is really important for us to understand why some errors will not be captured at compile time rather at runtime.

5 star for the contents of the book. Author explained each and every details. But first watch videos of any author then reading this book will help much. But not happy with Amazon, received pirated book with poor paper quality.
