The book starts out with a small anecdote and examples of a shopping cart that introduces the reader to the basic concepts in AngularJS - the open source JavaScript framework that uses Model "view" controller (MVC) architecture, client-side templates, directives, dependency injection and databinding. Once the reader is established with the fundamentals, the book jumps into the crucial concepts of AngularJS applications. Here, concepts such as partitioning an application into modules, gripping the power of built-in directives, using http to communicate with servers and understanding the connection between controllers and routes are discussed. Being aware of such information helps in building a simple AngularJS application. For building AngularJS Applications, Green and Seshadri provide a walk through for various tools that help in the AngularJS process from testing to layout, compiling and debugging. .All the concepts are equipped with app examples for simpler understanding. There is a chapter on JetBrains WebStorm, Yeoman and Karma as well. The book also teaches on how AngularJS helps make a complex web app simpler.
