Requirements

No previous knowledge on Node.js or Angular development is required, but you should have basic programming knowledge. It will be a helpful advantage if you could read through my Node, Express book and Angular book first which will provide you will better insight and deeper knowledge into the various technologies. But even if you have not done so, you should still be able to follow along.
