Recipes with Angular.js

Practical concepts and techniques for rapid web application development

About the Book

Angular.js is an open-source Javascript MVC (Model-View-Controller) framework developed by Google. It gives Javascript developers a highly structured approach to developing rich browser-based applications which leads to very high productivity.

If you are using Angular.js, or considering it, this cookbook provides easy to follow recipes for issues you are likely to face. Each recipe solves a specific problem and provides a solution and in-depth discussion of it.

Why is this a "beta version"?

I've decided to release this book in a partially complete state and publish updates on a weekly basis.

As a reader that has the disadvantage that you get the occasional glitches. On the other hand you have the opportunity to influence the book's content. Are there some topics you would like to see covered as a recipe? Let me know by sending an email to fdietz@gmail.com or leave a comment on this page.

Final release published

The final version of this book was release on June 23rd 2013. Thanks again for all your support!
