Stop wasting your time

wrestling with incomplete and confusing tutorials

  • Piecing together the docs is tough The documentation is not self-explanatory, one tutorial says one thing and another says something completely different.
  • Googling only takes you so far... There are not many good screencasts or tutorials out there that teach how to maximize the framework. Some teach the basics, but nothing that shows how to fit everything together?
  • Time is money; don't waste it sifting through blogs.Not only does it take a few trips around the community to have a basic understanding, but it's tough to find the answer you need.
  • What the heck is a _____? The vocabulary is foreign, when are you supposed to use a directive, a filter, or a factory? And seriously, what the does $apply and $digest mean?
  • How does it all fit together? The internals of AngularJS 1.x sparse and few and far between. How do you know how it all fits together?
  • Still not hitting deadlines faster. You still have a job to do and learning AngularJS hasn't made it any more achievable

Ready to master AngularJS 1.x?

  • What if you could master the entire framework – with solid foundations – in less time without beating your head against a wall? Imagine how quickly you could work if you knew the best practices and the best tools?

Community praise for ng-book

Akeel Nazir

Front-end developer at Cigna Insurance

I would like to thank you for writing the only meaningful book in the AngularJS space. I have so far bought all the books, and yours is the only one that I am able to follow. Thank you very much for your effort.

Ryan Lelek

Thiel Fellow (2012) & Founder at Orbzah

Your book arrived yesterday (straight off the presses it seems), and I've powered through 130+ pages. Page 89 (never use raw scope values, always in a model object or array) has likely already saved hours of headaches, having the book pay for itself.

Nick Lyons

CareWorks Tech Web Developer

Been working on some angular projects with the help of your book and articles. Couldn't have done it without your great articles.

Jim Wheaton

Senior software developer at the Rick Hansen Institute in Vancouver, B.C

Thanks for producing this material. I've spent countless hours combing the web, reading existing books, and watching a million tutorials to get up speed on angular, so it's nice to find such a comprehensive resource.

David Handel

Co-founder of Ask Your Target Market

I just finished watching the 2:54 long beginner series video. That three hours is pure solid gold. It's the best video overview of Angular I've seen. Thank you for it. The upgrade price to get it was worth every penny.

John Cole

CTO at Integrated Data Services

Great job on the book! I have found it to be the best software book I've ever purchased - easy to get started and it properly explains the concepts

Remo Lötscher

Front-end developer at PostFinance

As I'm just starting to use AngularJS for a business project your book is an important and valuable source for my daily work. Thank you very much for all your effort!

Pierre Lauret

Software engineer at General Electric

The Testing chapter saved my lot of time when I wanted to setup my test workflow. Thanks to your book, my test workflow is up and running very well.

Matt Trigwell

Founder of BluefrogPOS

Thank you so much for the effort that you have put into this book. I'm really getting into it and enjoying the content and style in which you have written it.

Morgan Polotan

Engineering fellow @thinkful

I can tell #ngbook will become the definitive guide to #Angular. A big thank you from @thinkful engineering!

Mikey Reppy

To save myself from my javascript I got ng-book: The Complete Book on AngularJS

Oliver Forral

Application Developer

First of all, I want to say thank you for making this book. I'm enjoying reading it and I'm learning so much about AngularJS.

Florian Witteler

Application Developer

The chapters I studied so far are excellent. I got a lot of insight from the security chapter. You guys did a very good job on explaining everything in great detail but also very fluent. Don't know, how to translate it correctly: I mean, it wasn't boring to read ;-) I'm so glad, I found your book.

Jennifer Dixon

Front End Developer

Anyone who wants to understand Angular should be reading this book. There are other informative books out there, as well as the excellent egghead.io videos, but none written with the context you wrote yours with. I really found this one to be the easiest to understand, because the parts of an app and the whole of an app are both explained so clearly.

Nikolaj Ivancic

Owner Congral, LLC

I am a software developer / designer / manager for well over 30 year and in that period of time have developed a very good taste for software books; this should be taken as an indication that Ari has done a stellar job and that I am very excited to read the whole book.

High quality and community driven

This book has an emphasis on high quality and deep organization. We personally respond to requests for content and release updates regularly to work with the latest in the Angular community.

No dealing with publishers and black-box publishing companies. Talk directly to us, the authors.

As independent authors, we survive only if you are satisfied and only by making the highest quality book on AngularJS as possible.
