6 Reasons to learn AngularJS

Angular 2 was released in late 2016 and brought Angular into the modern web with its desktop and mobile applications. If you build Web applications, chances are you’ve heard of Angular, the popular JavaScript framework for building full-featured, client-side, browser-based applications. The recent release of Angular 2 (September 2016) brought Angular into the modern Web and expanded its reach into mobile and desktop applications.

So what’s all of the Angular 2 excitement about? How is it different from every other JavaScript framework out there? Is it worth learning? What’s there to love?

Here are six reasons to love Angular 2.

1. Enhanced developer productivity with Angular 2

The Web has changed significantly during these past five years. With ECMAScript (ES) 2015, we have modules, classes and arrow functions. Angular 2 leverages these features to make its coding patterns more consistent and easier to learn.

Add to that Typescript, a language that is a superset of JavaScript and provides static typing and interfaces. By leveraging TypeScript for Angular development, we get great tooling such as type checking, safer refactorings and inline code documentation.

These features enhance our development and editing experience and help us reason about, debug and better understand our code.

2. Consistent coding patterns

One of the best things a framework can do for developer productivity is have a consistent set of coding patterns, and Angular does just that. Let’s talk about three of them: classes, built-in dependency injection and the MVVM (model-view-view/model) pattern.
