Overview of this book

Angular 6 for Enterprise-Ready Web Applications follows a hands-on and minimalist approach demonstrating how to design and architect high quality apps. The first part of the book is about mastering the Angular platform using foundational technologies. You will use the Kanban method to focus on value delivery, communicate design ideas with mock-up tools and build great looking apps with Angular Material. You will become comfortable using CLI tools, understand reactive programming with RxJS, and deploy to the cloud using Docker. The second part of the book will introduce you to the router-first architecture, a seven-step approach to designing and developing mid-to-large line-of-business applications, along with popular recipes. You will learn how to design a solid authentication and authorization experience; explore unit testing, early integration with backend APIs using Swagger and continuous integration using CircleCI. In the concluding chapters, you will provision a highly available cloud infrastructure on AWS and then use Google Analytics to capture user behavior. By the end of this book, you will be familiar with the scope of web development using Angular, Swagger, and Docker, learning patterns and practices to be successful as an individual developer on the web or as a team in the Enterprise.

Angular Material

The goal of the Angular Material project is to provide a collection of useful and standard-setting high-quality user interface (UI) components. The library implements Google's Material Design specification, which is pervasive in Google's mobile apps, web properties, and Android operating system. Material Design does has a particular digital and boxy look and feel, but it is not just another CSS library, like Bootstrap is. Consider the login experience coded using Bootstrap here:

Bootstrap Login Experience

Note that input fields and their labels are on separate lines, the checkbox is a small target to hit, the error messages are displayed as an ephemeral toast notification, and the submit button just sits in the corner. Now consider the given Angular Material sample:

The input fields and their labels are initially combined...
