Our ability to create amazing web-based apps is incredible, but the complexity involved
in making these apps is similarly incredible. We on the Angular team wanted to relieve
the pain involved with developing AJAX applications. At Google, we’d worked through
the hard lessons of building large web applications like Gmail, Maps, Calendar, and
several others. We thought we might be able to use these experiences to benefit everyone.
We wanted writing web apps to feel more like the first time we wrote a few lines of code
and stood back in amazement at what we’d made happen. We wanted the coding process
to feel more like creating and less like trying to satisfy the strange inner workings of
web browsers.
