Preface

What is this book about?

This book aims to be a short, but at the same time, fairly complete overview of the key aspects of Angular: it covers the framework's mental model, its API, and the design principles behind it.

To make one thing clear: this book is not a how-to-get-started guide. There is a lot of information about it available online. The goal of this book is different. Read this book after you toyed around with the framework, but before you embark on writing your first serious Angular application. The book will give you a strong foundation. It will help you put all the concepts into right places. So you will have a good understanding of why the framework is the way it is.

Let's get started!
