Please understand that these are the reasons I decided to learn Angular.\u00a0 I am not saying that this is why you should choose Angular.<\/p>\n

I like the reach of the web.\u00a0 I liked Angular’s pitch that it is what HTML would have been, had it been designed for building web-apps<\/em>.\u00a0 I also liked that AngularJS models are plain old JavaScript objects. This makes your code easy to test, maintain, reuse….\u00a0 <\/em>This prose is from the old AngularJS, however, and so not entirely true for the new Angular, the Angular that I am learning.\u00a0 The big difference is TypeScript.\u00a0 Yes the models are JavaScript objects, but they are in TypeScript which IMHO disqualifies them for the adjectives plain <\/em>and old.<\/em>\u00a0 It is technically possible to use the new Angular with JavaScript instead of TypeScript<\/a>, but I didn’t want to put myself outside of normal Angular conventions.\u00a0 People who work in Angular work in TypeScript. Effective testing is critical for mature production quality systems.\u00a0 By effective <\/em>I mean testing that really does prevent problems from getting introduced, but at the same time does not hinder creativity and productivity.<\/p>\n This means Angular programmers will have more in common with each other, something good for everyone involved with Angular.\u00a0 This is the classic debate of composite of best-of-breeds<\/em> verses integrated solution.\u00a0 <\/em>There isn’t a universally right and wrong side of this debate.\u00a0 I just decided if I was going to learn something new, and so new that I would not just be learning it, but learning from it, I would let Google guide me in what is cool.\u00a0 Maybe this sounds a little strange.\u00a0 I am just being honest here.<\/p>\n I am still learning about this.\u00a0 All I can say is it sure did sound nice when I was deciding\u00a0 to go for Angular.<\/p>\n These competitors all sound worthy.\u00a0 I just wanted to pick one and dive deeper than I could if I tried them all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Please understand that these are the reasons I decided to learn Angular.\u00a0 I am not saying that this is why you should choose Angular.

\n<\/span><\/p>\nIt claims to facilitate creating software that is readily testable<\/h6>\n
My impression is that it is more complete<\/h6>\n
It claims to be for all devices (phones, tablets, pc’s)<\/h6>\n
What about React, Vue, Ember, and Meteor?<\/h3>\n
