Overview

Angular is a HTML5 framework from Google for building applications inside your browser, and this book will teach you the skills you need to be effective using Angular for Enterprise applications.

The book will start from nothing and iterate over code to build a complete task management application. Each chapter will teach you something new, so you can learn to be effective building applications for your clients or company.

Some concepts the book will teach:

Implementing Role Based Authentication

Powering Your User Interfaces

Displaying Your Data in a DataGrids

Advanced Data Filtering

CRUD Operations

Integrating with REST Services

The book will use mock services so that your learning process is not tied to a specific server side platform.

Why Jeffry?

I was born to educate. During the Y2K era, I wrote three books on ColdFusion for Osborne McGrawhill and started writing the Beginner’s Column in the ColdFusion Developer’s Journal.

From there, I turned my attention to user Interface Development focused on Adobe/Apache Flex. I produced the premiere Flex Podcast, The Flex Show. As Flex lost market relevancy, I came back to the browser world in a big way. I created the Life After Flex series to teach Flex Developer’s about AngularJS development. Then I launched the LearnWith series to teach Developers about integrating AngularJS with other technologies.

I blog weekly on development topics and a focus on a longer Angular book is a natural move.
