Packt.Switching.to.Angular.2

Foreword Angular 2 is still Angular, just better. It is still built on the same principles that made you love AngularJS: a quick and powerful solution to building Single Page Applications. In Angular 2, the applications are faster, more visible to SEO and mobile, and are crossplatform ready. So whilst Angular 2 has improved many of the concepts over AngularJS, the philosophy remains true to the original vision. Switching to Angular 2 is a book that recognizes this. Minko’s book successfully helps you to switch your thinking from AngularJS 1.x to Angular 2. From your first interactions with Angular 2 to the last, the core concepts of Angular are maintained throughout. This guide will help you to switch to Angular’s new way of doing things. Minko guides you through the changes and new features that have been introduced—components, directives, TypeScript, the new router, and everything else you need to start using Angular 2 for your next project. As Angular 2 takes up the challenge set by today’s changing web development landscape and builds on the legacy of AngularJS, it’s incredibly important for the Angular community that there are high quality learning materials such as Minko’s book to help Angular developers make that first switch over to the future.
