Creating Your First Angular.js App

Angular 2 is definitely making a lot of buzz these days, whilst the framework is still being worked on, some resources and materials are already becoming available. Victor Savkin was one of the developers who decided to take a closer look at Angular 2 and what it offers. Others have taken a more critical approach to judging the framework.

The public Google forums for Angular is flooded with questions these days, and if you’re looking to get up to speed about the latest developments, this might be the best place to do it. We do recommend looking into other programming communities for developers to get more perspectives. The official Angular 2 quickstart guide is probably the place to start if you want to get your hands dirty straight away.

We are no strangers to Angular.js and have extensively covered some of the most important aspects of this framework in several different posts. First up, you should probably get clear about the most important reasons to use Angular.js and why it might be the framework for your next project, after you have made your decision, you may want to look into some free learning resources for Angular, and if that isn’t enough — one of our most popular Angular.js posts is specifically about Angular books; all three of which are free to download.

In need of some Angular inspiration? We got you covered. Jasim Muhammed from Scotch recently published a tutorial on how to create concise desktop apps using Angular, while Julien Renaux from Tuts+ has published a tutorial that talks about launching a mobile app using WordPress + Angular combination. Both tutorials will work just fine for experienced and inexperienced Angular.js developers.

API Example App with Angular

Your First AngularJS App  A Comprehensive Tutorial   Toptal
API’s have grown in popularity, and frameworks like Angular are making it incredibily easy for developers and engineers to put together apps that rely on the data of an external API. With the help of this tutorial, you should be able to create your own apps that use API data. See below the authors comment on this.

Finally, I love Angular because of its flexibility regarding server communication. Like most JavaScript MVC frameworks, it lets you work with any server-side technology as long as it can serve your app through a RESTful web API. But Angular also provides services on top of XHR that dramatically simplify your code and allow you to abstract API calls into reusable services. As a result, you can move your model and business logic to the front-end and build back-end agnostic web apps. In this post, we’ll do just that, one step at a time.
