I'll start with the positives.

The book has some good information on the basics about AngularJS. The author has no doubt explained the concepts of this new programming model in a very easy and understandable manner.

The chapters in the book start slow, but pick up the pace pretty quickly. Building the app along with the book in the Chapter 4 helped me understand a lot more about the subject.

Chapter 8 also has some very good code samples that will assist you when you get stuck in your app.

But, the book has a few shortcomings. The main drawback of the book, IMHO, is the lack of a chapter dedicated to Testing. The chapter could have stepped through how to set up your unit testing environment and the e2e test environment using Testacular/Karma, with code samples of course.

The code snippets have bugs in them, although the errata will help you (if you din't figure out that the tag was missing, that is).

The authors could have discussed a few other features like ngCloak, $cacheFactory, $anchorScroll just to name a few.… (plus d'informations)
