Preface

Web components have long been touted as the next great leap forward in web development. With the new version of the Angular framework, we're closer than ever. Over the past couple of years, there's been a lot of buzz around web components in the web development community. New component-style directives in Angular will change developers' workflows and their thinking about shared and reusable blocks of custom HTML in the shadow DOM. By building a whole application from scratch, this book is a practical way to learn, giving readers the chance to build components of their own. With Mastering Angular Components, learners will get ahead of the curve in a new wave of web development by focusing on an area that's the key to unlocking the powers of Angular development.

Mastering Angular Components teaches readers to think in a component-based way when developing user interfaces. This rich guide to the new component-centric way of doing things in Angular teaches readers how to invent, build, and manage shared and reusable components for their web projects. This book will change how developers think about how to accomplish things in Angular, and the reader will work on useful and fun example components throughout.
