This book will help you master the fundamentals of designing and developing Angular 2 components, providing complete syntax coverage TypeScript language, knowledge of which is necessary to follow the code examples. After creating the first components, we will combine them into a complete web application. Then we'll move on to implementing routes in Angular 2, learning how to organize support for different application states and navigation between components. After that, we'll tackle web forms and user input validation, and then use this new knowledge as a foundation to learn the basics of user authentication and different ways to secure pages and sections of a site.
