Preface

"Make it work. Make it right. Make it fast."

Back when the world was young, Kent Beck forged this prophetic sentiment. Even today, in the ultra-modern realm of performant single-page application JavaScript frameworks, his idea still holds sway. This nine-word expression describes the general progression through which a pragmatic developer creates high-quality software.

In the process of discovering how to optimally wield a technology, a developer will execute this progression many times, and each time will be a learning experience regarding some new understanding of the technology.

This cookbook is intended to act as a companion guide through this process. The recipes in this book will intimately examine every major aspect of the framework in order to maximize your comprehension. Every time you open this book, you should gain an expanded understanding of the brilliance of the AngularJS framework.
