This book uses Angular with TypeScript (a superset to JavaScript) to enable use of data types and take advantage of programming constructs such as classes, interfaces, generic templates, and more. You also will utilize various Angular features, including data binding, components, services, etc. You will build a single page application with the help of routing capabilities available out of the box (Angular CLI) and interface with remote services over HTTP.
