In Detail
I'm delighted to see this new update and hope it helps you build amazing things with Angular. - Misko Hevery, Creator of AngularJS and Angular
Angular is the modern framework you need to build performant and robust web applications. This book is the quickest way to upgrade your AngularJS knowledge to the brave new world of Angular, and get grips with the framework.
It starts with an overview putting the changes of the framework in context with version 1. After that, you will be taken on a TypeScript crash-course so you can take advantage of Angular in its native, statically-typed environment. You'll explore the new change detection mechanism in detail, how directives and components have changed, how you create applications with Angular, and much more. Next, you'll understand how to efficienly develop forms, use the router, implement communication with HTTP services, and transform data with custom pipes. Finally, we will take a look at the Angular's Ahead-of-Time compiler, angular-cli and other such tools that help us build professional applications.
By the end of the book, you'll be ready to start building quick and efficient Angular applications compatible with v2 and v4, that take advantage of all the new features on offer.
This book is up to date for the 2.4 release and is compatible with the 4.0 release as well.
Style and approach
Starting with a comparison between Angular versions, this book is filled with side-by-side code examples to help highlight the changes. Each chapter then looks at major changes to the framework and is filled with small examples and sample code to get you started.

Foreword
About the Author
I want to thank Miško Hevery for his great contributions to software engineering and the technical review of this book. He helped me provide as precise content as possible. To make the code samples for this book easy to run, I used angular-seed. One of the core contributors of the project is Ludovic Hénin, who helped make it much more than an Angular starter. I also want to thank Daniel Lamb, Radoslav Kirov, and Tero Parviainen who gave me extremely valuable feedback.
I couldn't have completed this book without the dedicated work of the Packt Publishing team. Finally, I want to thank the team at Google for giving us Angular. They are a constant inspiration.
