The Angular Firebase Survival Guide

Build Angular Apps on a Solid Foundation with Firebase

About the Book

Fully updated in May 2018 with updates for Angular v6 and Firebase SDK v5.

Are you ready to go beyond the basics with Angular/Firebase and launch your app into production?

The Angular Firebase Survival Guide is a non-linear toolkit with 65 code snippets (supported by videos) that solve common challenges, prevent pitfalls, and demonstrate real-world app features. This book is about producing realtime Angular applications - it's NOT about high level programming theories or low level Angular architecture concepts.

You should buy this book if you…

  • Want to build real world apps.
  • Enjoy quick problem-solution style tutorials.
  • Have basic JavaScript, HTML, and CSS skills
  • Have some Angular experience (such as the Heroes Demo on Angular.io)

By the end of the book, you will know how to authenticate users, handle realtime database streams, upload files, trigger background tasks, deploy your app, and much more.

The new book is really amazing!

The new book is really amazing! This is more than a new version, I think you rewrote almost everything. The previous version was a bit hard to dive into. Congrats I think you've achieved a reference guide for Angular

I love the format

I love the format of the book - super easy to follow. It is really helping to learn and understand what is going on rather googling code fixes on Stack Overflow.
