So this book is definitely better than the the AngularJS book (O'Reilly publications) book. The authors have done an excellent job of creating a 'documentation' of this revolutionary framework, which at places, is better than the documentation at the angularjs.org site. (sorry to start on a negative note!!)

The chapters are well categorized to help the reader understand the concepts from the ground-up. This book definitely helps a beginner and serves as a handy reference for the experienced developer. Despite having done some work on AngularJS after reading a book and online courses, this book still provided me with so much information (at times to the level of 'system-overload'... but in a good way) that I feel I should have picked up this material first.

Chapter 7 talks about how to handle security issues, chapter 8 and 9 discuss about directives. These three chapters were the highlight for me in terms of improving my understanding of the framework.

The authors have provided links for snippets on plnkr.com so the reader can experiment as they read. I found this very innovative and useful to quickly try out with different values and compare the output. Also some sections of the book provided the unit tests before they showed the implementation of the feature. This was also nice as it encourages readers to think in terms of TDD.

Simple language, awesome framework and one great book!! ( )
