About the Book
Get started with speed building AngularJS applications, and scale up to a full-stack web application, using the existing AngularJS framework without the trouble of migrating to Angular 2
About This Book
• Follow the best practices of the framework to organize and modularize your application
• Get to grips with Angular's Model-View-Controller architecture
• Create application modules with maximum reusability and extensibility
• Structure and use AngularJS applications in your MEAN project in your MEAN project
Who This Book Is For
This course is for people who want to discover how they can improve their current web applications with the existing version of Angular without having to worry much about migrating to AngularJS 2
What You Will Learn
• Install and set up the AngularJS framework
• Create your own full-featured and robust AngularJS web apps
• Create reusable directives and then extend the behavior of HTML on your web page
• Optimize and maintain your web applications
• Create more powerful full-stack web applications, that draw on the combined power of AngularJS, Node.js, MongoDB, and Express in the MEAN stack
In Detail
The AngularJS course is a journey to help you improve and scale your current web applications with the existing version of Angular without having to worry about migration to Angular 2. The course is divided into four modules.
The first part—AngularJS Essentials is like a practical guide, filled with many step-by-step examples that will lead you through the best practices of AngularJS. After a brief introduction, you will learn how to create reusable components with directives. You will then take a look at many data handling techniques, discover a complete set of technologies that are capable to accomplish any challenge related to present, transform, and validate data on the user's interface. Finally, you will discover the best way to deal with the scope and how to break up the application into separate modules, giving rise to reusable and interchangeable libraries.
With this you've crossed a milestone and are about to enter the world of learning by example. In the next part—Learning AngularJS By Example, you will learn how to effectively build apps using the AngularJS platform. You will be building multiple apps on this platform ranging from simple ones to more complex ones. In this module, you will roll up your coding sleeves and create a serious AngularJS application by example – a rich featured workout app. Take the coding a step at a time at first, then once you're coding a full app in this module, a lot of AngularJS will fall right into place for you.
The third module—AngularJS Web Application Development Cookbook, will get you accustomed to the AngularJS concept armed with a solid understanding of how it works, insight into the best ways to wield it in real-world applications, and annotated code examples. It is a rich library of AngularJS coding solutions that you can use straight away in your own code projects.
You are just a step away from completing this learning path of AngularJS. The name of the next part—MEAN Web Development itself assures that you are nearing the destination. The idea is simple with this part, you'll take MongoDB as the database, Express as the web framework, AngularJS as the frontend framework, and Node.js as the platform, and combine them together in a modular approach that will ensure the flexibility needed in modern software development. This is also your graduation to full-stack web development, which can open many new coding and career opportunities for you!

About the Author :
Rodrigo Branas is a software architect, author, and international speaker on software development based in Brazil, with more than 12 years of experience in developing enterprise applications.
Lately, he has been participating in the development of many successful products based on the AngularJS framework. A major part of these applications were made available to the education industry, and are now used by thousands of users across the country.
He is also the founder of Agile Code, a consultancy and training company that works effectively with architects, developers, designers, and testers in order to produce high-quality products.
He graduated in Computer Science and has an MBA degree in Project Management. He is certified in SCJA, SCJP, SCJD, SCWCD, and SCBCD from Sun Microsystems; PMP from Project Management Institute; MCP from Microsoft; and CSM from Scrum Alliance.
In the past few years, he has dedicated himself to spreading knowledge in the software development community. Also, he is the author of Java Magazine, one of the most recognized technical publications in Brazil. His website address is http://www.agilecode.com.br. He can be contacted at rodrigo.branas@gmail.comand you can follow him on Twitter at @rodrigobranas. Chandermani is a software craftsman with a passion for technology and is an expert on the web stack. With more than a decade of experience under his belt, he has architected, designed, and developed solutions of all shapes and sizes on the Microsoft platform.
He never believed JavaScript could be a great platform for app development until he saw Angular. Such is his love for this framework that every engagement he is part of has an Angular footprint.
Being an early adopter of the Angular framework, he tries to support the platform in every possible way, whether by writing blog posts on various Angular topics or helping his fellow developers on Stack Overflow, where he is often seen answering questions on AngularJS channels.
A former MSFT employee, he now works for Technovert, where he leads a bunch of awesome developers who build cloud-scale web applications using AngularJS and other new-age frameworks. Matt Frisbie is currently a full stack developer at DoorDash (YC S13), where he joined as the first engineer. He led their adoption of AngularJS, and he also focuses on the infrastructural, predictive, and data projects within the company.
Matt has a degree in Computer Engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He is the author of the video series Learning AngularJS, available through O'Reilly Media. Previously, he worked as an engineer at several educational technology start-ups. Amos Q. Haviv is a software developer, technical consultant, and the creator of MEAN.IO and MEAN.JS. He has been a full-stack developer for almost a decade and worked for multiple start-ups and enterprise companies. He now works with various platforms, frameworks, and programming languages, including the .NET framework, Python, Scala, Objective-C, and of course, JavaScript.
For the past 3 years, Amos has been working with full-stack JavaScript solutions, including Node.js and MongoDB, as well as MVC front-end frameworks, such as AngularJS. In 2013, he created the first popular boilerplate for MEAN applications, MEAN.IO, and currently continues the development of MEAN solutions at http://meanjs.org. He also gives lectures on advanced web technologies at meetups and conferences, and he guides development teams at various companies.
