Book Description

Master the art of developing applications using AngularJS, ASP.NET Web API 2, and Visual Studio 2013

In Detail

AngularJS is an open source framework that utilizes the Model-View-Controller architecture for client-side application development. AngularJS is referred to as the Angular framework.

With this book, you will soon be able to build client-side data driven applications. The introduction section covers the essentials of AngularJS, covering the core concepts of AngularJS to ensure a smooth transition to the more advanced topics discussed later on.

This book covers the development of client-side applications with AngularJS using code examples before moving on to explore how to build the ASP.NET Web API and its features using Visual Studio .NET.
