Pro Angular: Build Powerful and Dynamic Web Apps (Adam Freeman) 

Welcome to this one-stop shop for learning Angular. Pro Angular is the most concise and comprehensive guide available, giving you the knowledge you need to take full advantage of this popular framework for building your own dynamic JavaScript applications.

Angular is an open-source JavaScript library maintained by Google. It has many excellent options when it comes to server-side development and is used in some of the largest and most complex web applications in the world to enhance HTML in the browser. Its cornerstone is the ability to create applications that are extendable, maintainable, testable, and standardized. Knowing Angular’s foundations and understanding its applications is an asset in any developer toolbox.

The fifth edition of this popular guide explains how to get the most from Angular, presenting the range of benefits it can offer. You will begin learning how to use Angular in your projects, starting with the nuts-and-bolts concepts, and progressing to more advanced and sophisticated features. Each topic in this full-color book provides you with precisely enough learning and detail to be effective. In true Adam Freeman style, the most important features are given full-court press treatment, while also addressing common problems and how to avoid them.

Node.js, MongoDB and Angular Web Development, 2nd Edition (Brad Dayley, Brendan Dayley, Caleb Dayley) 

Node.js is a leading server-side programming environment, MongoDB is the most popular NoSQL database, and Angular is the leading framework for MVC-based front-end development. Together, they provide an easy-to-implement, fully integrated web development stack that allows web programmers to create high-performance sites and applications built completely in JavaScript, from server to client.

Updated for Angular 2, Angular 4, and subsequent versions, this new edition of Node.js, MongoDB and Angular Web Development shows you how to integrate these three technologies into complete working solutions. It begins with concise, crystal-clear tutorials on each technology and then quickly moves on to building common web applications.

You’ll learn how to use Node.js and MongoDB to build more scalable, high-performance sites, how to leverage Angular’s innovative MVC approach to structure more effective pages and applications, and how to use all three together to deliver outstanding next-generation Web solutions.

Testing Angular Applications (Corinna Cohn, Michael Giambalvo, Jesse Palmer, Craig Nishina)

Testing Angular Applications is an example-rich, hands-on guide that gives you the real-world techniques you need to thoroughly test all parts of your Angular applications. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to confidently write unit and end-to-end tests for Angular applications in TypeScript.

Testing Angular Applications teaches you how to make testing an essential part of your development and production processes. You’ll start by setting up a simple unit testing system as you learn the fundamental practices. Then, you’ll fine-tune it as you discover the best tests for Angular components, directives, pipes, services, and routing. Finally, you’ll explore end-to-end testing, mastering the Protractor framework, and inserting Angular apps into your continuous integration pipeline.

ng-book: The Complete Guide to Angular (Nathan Murray, Felipe Coury, Ari Lerner, Carlos Taborda)

What if you could master the entire framework – with solid foundations – in less time without beating your head against a wall? Imagine how quickly you could work if you knew the best practices and the best tools?

Stop wasting your time searching and have everything you need to be productive in one, well-organized place, with complete examples to get your project up without needing to resort to endless hours of research.

You will learn what you need to know to work professionally with ng-book: The Complete Book on Angular.

Mastering TypeScript 3 (Nathan Rozentals)

TypeScript is both a language and a set of tools to generate JavaScript. It was designed by Anders Hejlsberg at Microsoft to help developers write enterprise-scale JavaScript.

Starting with an introduction to the TypeScript language, before moving on to basic concepts, each section builds on previous knowledge in an incremental and easy-to-understand way. Advanced and powerful language features are all covered, including asynchronous programming techniques, decorators, and generics.

This book explores many modern JavaScript and TypeScript frameworks side by side in order for the reader to learn their respective strengths and weaknesses. It will also thoroughly explore unit and integration testing for each framework.

Best-of-breed applications utilize well-known design patterns in order to be scalable, maintainable, and testable. This book explores some of these object-oriented techniques and patterns, and shows real-world implementations.

By the end of the book, you will have built a comprehensive, end-to-end web application to show how TypeScript language features, design patterns, and industry best practices can be brought together in a real-world scenario.
