Angular 2 Cookbook: Discover over 70 recipes that provide the solutions you need to know to face every challenge in Angular 2 head on 2nd Revised edition

This is a well written recipe book for intermediate and advanced users of Angular 2. It assumes knowledge of javascript and core Angular concepts. I found the topics to be wide ranging, and each recipe is usually 1-5 pages long. The author has a great grasp on the nitty gritty of making complex apps using Angular. I also have a copy of the AngularJS Web Application Development Cookbook by the same author on my bookshelf and like before the author has done a great job with this book.Writing in the book is intelligent, and the order is well structured. There's nothing unexpected here - it's a book full of practical solutions to hundreds of everyday problems. I think certain sections could do a little better with more of a meta-view of the concepts and ideas new in Angular 2 but overall the author has done an incredible job.The first chapter, "Strategies for upgrading to Angular 2" is meant to be a guided transition to angular 2, but it likely won't suffice if you're new to angular, and certainly won't prepare you if you're relatively unfamiliar with javascript in general. This book is primarily intended for the everyday Angular developer who wants dive in and start using the new version in projects.If you are familiar with Angular 2 basics, a cover-to-cover reading of this book will take you to the next level, but most developers will only read the entries that pertain to the problems they face during development.What I really like about this book is how the author dives in each of the example, elaborating each example code and makes it easy to understand what's going on (book comes with the source code which you can download). If practice makes you stronger, this book should be in your shelf or digital reader.

This is a very good book. I wish the author covers more on securing angular app. I would buy this book if the author covers Angular 6.

Found it ok, still on the fence about AngularJS, before switching to Angular 2.

Had to learn Angular (2/4) as quickly as possible for work, having dabbled in AngularJS (1.x).This book dives in with examples pretty quickly, so you might want to start with some more basic "getting started" kinds of content first, but you'll quickly come back to this book as your reference for how to actually get things done in Angular. The "getting started" type content introduces you to the vocabulary, syntax, etc., which you'll need to be able to understand the recipes in this book, but this book picks up at the "great, but how do I build anything other than this example to do list?" and remains useful for quite some time as a reference.

Well written.

Really nice, step-by-step explanation of how (and) why things are done in Angular 2. Answered a lot of my questions.Warning: If you purchased the book before mid-June 2017, you might have received a hoaxed version of the book (identified by lack of page numbers and chapter headers, and generally poor formatting). This problem has apparently been fixed now. You should be able to return the hoaxed book version to Amazon.

Excellant book

I'm writing as a software engineer veteran, very comprehensive, excellent pointers on various Angular2 techniques. Professionals will want to seek additional information, such as best practices concerning authentication/authorisation (check out: OpenIddict), but this book covers a lot nonetheless. Novices will probably get lost in some of the technical detail, but perfect for intermediate/advanced and professionals. You should be familiar with basic OOP concepts, such as encapsulation, to get the most from this book. Being an Angular2 novice myself, I started with another excellent book "ASP.NET Core and Angular2". Great introduction but light on detail. The latter book does cross the server/client-side boundary though.

I found the book to be useful but highly disorganised , the book mixed angular 1 and angular 2 making it more confusing , again there is no clear direction on how to complete the projects in the book and the code used hasn't been updated for long.

Buon libro ma che presuppone una conoscenza anche minima di angular versione 1 (il primo capitolo parla proprio di questa versione ed eventuali interscambi tra la versione 1 e la 2 - l'ultima parte del capitolo è inutile). Dal capitolo 2 si fa sul serio e con esempi chiari e brevi l'autore spiega il mondo di angular 2.Dal secondo capitolo si parla in modo approfondito della comunicazione tra i component (oggetto base su cui tutto viene costruito in angular 2). Il capitolo 3 parla delle form e così via in tutti gli altri capitoli, in un approfondimento degli argomenti più complessi come promises, RxJs, service... Gli esempi trattati sono anche tutti presenti in live su internet, pronti ad essere modificati "e vedere l'effetto che fa".Uno dei difetti di questo libro è che l'autore innonda sì di informazioni il lettore, ma non dà nessuna guida o suggerimento su quale sia la scelta giusta in certi contesti; per esempio, nel capitolo delle form vengono esposte tutte le metodologie possibile di sviluppo, ma l'autore NON spiega mai perché dovrei usare una modalità invece di un'altra. Inoltre l'autore tralascia o descrive veramente minimamente @Directive e @Pipe: se avesse approfondito anche questi punti il libro avrebbe, come mia valutazione, 5 stelle.

Good book but the Angular framework is changing day by day, So need to update book's content.
