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. ( )

Considering it's one of a handful of books on the fairly new framework it does a good job in providing an introduction.

Although, having worked on a fairly complex Angularjs app, I did find it a bit lacking in code samples for some of the issues we encountered along the way.

Good start. Looking forward to seeing more books on the subject ( )

Interesting JS framework for frontend tinkering, but the text had some annoying typos and bugs. ( )
