AngularJS Web Application Development Blueprints Trying to be objective as this should be a blueprint for a total beginner. I'd recommend having a decent background in web development prior to purchasing this book, with that said this book did the trick for me. I've got other books on AngularJS and have left reviews for those as well. This book covers so much ground in so little time, using various plugins to bring together a concrete framework that will help get an application going within a short amount of time. I don't feel the a 1 star rating was appropriate from some reviews, this book may have some things you can find in the documentation but why not have a nice hands on guide that gets you going with an bunch of applications from start to finish, letting you see the milestones as you go. Priceless for learning, and on top of that the book get's serious on page 103 with unit testing and mocking up returns for testing.. really neat and informative way to test my application before I unleash it on users who may experience some anomalies that would've been avoided in the first place. Worth the cost if you really want to get hands on with AngularJS. Publisher Link: http://goo.

This is a very good book, it’s very easy to following along and the author has taken the time to explain things in some detail. Before I started this book I had a limited understanding of some of the applications used in it, but after reading just the second chapter where the author walks you through setting up Node, Express.js, Bower, Yeoman and then explains how to use them and the benefits for using them. I will now look at working with AngularJs in a whole new way without resorting to use Visual Studio all the time. The author creates a few working examples during the course of the book, and covers all aspects of application development from the UI design and setting up and using Bootstrap and CSS to writing server side code in Node.js and of course AngularJS and extending HTML. The author covers in great detail unit tests using Karma and end to end testing using Protractor and how to use these tools. This book is not limited to being just about AngularJS, it’s about using the right tools for the job and the author has included examples for using Node.js, ExpressJS, MongoDB (the MEAN stack as it’s referred to), to create a CMS application again the author walks the reader
