Develop smaller, lighter web apps that are simple to create and easy to test, extend, and maintain as they grow. This hands-on guide introduces you to AngularJS, the open source JavaScript framework that uses Model–view–controller (MVC) architecture, data binding, client-side templates, and dependency injection to create a much-needed structure for building web apps.

Guided by two engineers who worked on AngularJS at Google, you’ll walk through the framework’s key features, and then build a working AngularJS app—from layout to testing, compiling, and debugging. If you have JavaScript experience, you’ll learn how AngularJS helps reduce the complexity of your web app.
* Dive deep into Angular’s building blocks and learn how they work together
* Gain maximum flexibility by separating logic, data, and presentation responsibilities with MVC
* Assemble your full app in the browser, using client-side templates
* Use AngularJS directives to extend HTML with declarative syntax
* Communicate with the server and implement simple caching with the $http service
* Use dependency injection to improve refactoring, testability, and multiple environment design
* Get code samples for common problems you face in most web apps
