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.

Sams Teach Yourself AngularJS, JavaScript, and jQuery All in One assumes absolutely no previous knowledge of JavaScript or jQuery. The authors begin by helping students gain the relevant JavaScript skills they need, introducing JavaScript in a way specifically designed for modern AngularJS web development.

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.

Learn how to:

Create powerful, highly interactive single-page web applications
Leverage AngularJS's innovative MVC approach to web development
Use JavaScript in modern frameworks
Implement JavaScript, jQuery, and AngularJS together in web pages
Dynamically modify page elements in the browser
Use browser events to interact with the user directly
Implement client-side services that interact with web servers
Integrate rich user interface components, including zoomable images and expandable lists
Enhance user experience by creating AngularJS templates with built-in directives
Bind user interface elements and events to the data model to add flexibility and support more robust interactivity
Define custom AngularJS directives to extend HTML's capabilities
Build dynamic browser views to provide richer user interaction
Create custom services you can integrate into many AngularJS applications
Develop a well-structured code base that's easy to reuse and maintain
