Definition and Key Ideas

Angular is a framework and development platform for making web and mobile apps using HTML, JavaScript, or compiling TypeScript or NativeScript to JavaScript. It is an excellent tool for creating the following solutions:

• single-page applications;
• enterprise web applications;
• mobile apps of any kind;
• Progressive Web Applications;
• server-side rendered applications;
• user interfaces with animations;
• and many other things

To start working with the framework, you should understand basic JavaScript ES6, HTML, and CSS. Since the main idea of the framework is to build client applications, particularly single-page apps, its architecture is specific to that and 95% of the code runs on the client-side.

Working with Angular, you enjoy the following advantages:

• functionality for time, effort, and cost-saving;
• codebase maintainability and scalability;
