Foreword

Angular is a quick and powerful solution to building Single-Page Applications, where applications are faster, more visible to SEO and mobile devices, and are cross-platform ready. Today the philosophy remains true to the original vision.

Switching to Angular, Third Edition, is a book that recognizes this vision. Minko's book successfully helps you to switch your thinking to Angular. From your first interactions with Angular 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 for your next project.

As Angular takes up the challenge set by today's changing web development landscape and builds on the legacy of AngularJS, high-quality learning materials, such as Minko's book, are incredibly important for the Angular community to help Angular developers make that switch over to the future.
