In the last few months I’ve spent most of my time with front-end frameworks like Angular and React. You will be fascinated to know how mature are these frameworks / libraries. In this article I will share my experience with Angular.
Even if you don’t plan of using Angular, then also you should learn it because rate of adoption of Angular is incredible.
Angular is a JavaScript-based open source front-end web application Framework mainly maintained by Google under MIT license. Angular is based on the Model View Controller (MVC) Architecture which helps in creating rich web applications.The Angular framework works by first reading the HTML page, which has additional custom tags nested in it. Angular has great tools that make the development faster.
Angular is a structural framework for creating dynamic web apps. It lets you use HTML as your template or markup language and lets you extend HTML syntax to express your application’s components clearly. Angular data binding and dependency injection eliminate much of the code you would otherwise have to write.
Component-based web development is pretty much the future of web development. Angular is built on the belief that declarative programming should be used to create user interfaces and connect software components (Ref. – Wikipedia).
Angular is not just another Framework. Angular implements the MVC pattern to separate presentation, data, and logic components. Angular does a great job of abstracting a lot of difficult parts of web development which allows us to focus on the functionality of our applications.
Another really cool and important piece to notice from Angular is that the fundamental logics of our application is just JavaScript. Angular brings traditionally server-side service such as view-dependent controllers to client-side web applications.
The main Angular advantages over its closest rival are –
Angular is a complete client side solution. Angular simplifies application development by presenting a comprehensive documentation. Angular provides flexibility and stability to web application development.
A single-page application is an app that works inside a browser and does not require page reloading during use. You are using this type of applications every day. These are, for instance: Gmail, Google Maps, Facebook or GitHub.
I hope that this article helps you to understand the key benefits of Angular and this convinces you to use Angular. I strongly recommend learning Angular because it will help you and your team be faster and write better code.Invest some of your time in Angular!
