Angular Reviews

Angular is heavily used at Google, and for a good reason. It not only works well, but it has a slew of features that make web development better. This includes two-way data binding, which ensures that changes made to either the view or the model are reflected automatically in the other. Because of this approach, the developer does not have to actively maintain the Document Model Object (DOM). Angular further implements both Model-View–Controller and Model-View-Viewmodel architectures. Angular also supports caching, which improves server performance. It further has support for rapid prototyping and for responsive web design. But what is really great about using Angular is that it uses plain JavaScript. Its models are ordinary JavaScript objects, which makes coding using Angular a lot simpler than some other frameworks. Like all web frameworks, Angular is not without drawbacks. First, it requires that you are familiar with a Model-View–Controller architecture. If you or your programmers are not familiar with this, you could be facing a very steep learning curve. Second, because its scopes are layered and hierarchical, they can be quite difficult to manage. Also, some of its best features, such as directives, dependency injections and factories can be difficult to use. Still, if you are willing and able to put the time into learning Angular, you will reap its benefits. Which is the ability to create high-quality web apps that are both fast and reliable.
