In just a short time, you can learn the basics of the JavaScript language, jQuery library, and AngularJS framework – and find out how to use them to build well-designed, reusable components for web applications.
Each short, easy lesson builds on all that's come before, teaching new concepts and techniques from the ground up, through practical examples and hands-on problem solving.
As you complete the lessons in this book, you'll gain a practical understanding of how to provide rich user interactions in your web pages, adding dynamic code that allows web pages to instantly react to mouse clicks and finger swipes, and interact with back-end services to store and retrieve data from the web server.
