Angular Official website is the textbook for the Angular. I would also recommend tutorial videos from Udemy, Youtube and other sources. I am working on Angular for last 8 months, but whenever I stumble, my first wayout is official website.

I had been working in Angular for 3-4 years but recent hype has led me to shift to React but I can say Angular is one of the best framework. I like opinionated frameworks so that's one of the reason. It feels bad to see that Angular doesn't get the love it deserve.

So you would be happy to see people, who see angular as a great fit for them and getting started with it.
You have also made a wise move for your career. Good luck.

I had to shift because we use React heavily at work but when it comes to personal project then I don't opt for react. Usually reach out to Next.js (as looking forward to sharpen react skills) but again I still love the Angular Ecosystem. ☺️

I started at a new job with the beginning of this year and the agency decided to use only or 95% of the time Angular. I only had some experience on Vue. I worked before mainly with Drupal, plain ol' JavaScript and jQuery.

First I was pretty afraid because everyone around me said that Angular is by far the hardest front-end framework to learn. And to be honest I felt pretty fast very comfortable.

After 6 months a client wanted a web application in Vue, which was great because I was the only one who has worked with Vue before. While the development of this app I started to miss Angular. Because of the structure and all the things it brings already with it.

I often caught me thinking of "I would be much faster if I could do this in Angular". And now after almost 10 months I'm pretty wouldn't go back at any point. Even it gets a lot of hate from all around, I still think it's a great tool to build modern web applications, especially when they get bigger and bigger.

I wish you all the best on your way with Angular and welcome to the dev community!(:

These two tutorials are really just the little part about Angular.
I want to tell everyone who wants to learn Angular that all the guides on angular.io are the best Angular learning material, I read them all couple times, learnt a lot.
(unfortunately guides doesn't include control value accessor).

Guides mirror on github:
github.com/angular/angular/tree/ma...

Sample codes on all the guides:

Learning Angular so far has been a bit challenging. I'll try this route and see how it works out.

If I can be of any help, I'll be glad to do so.
After the Angular official tutorials, I have followed Angular Crash Course by Mosh Hamedani at Udemy. This course offers detailed explanation of Angular concepts. Purchasing this course proved to be a great self investment for me.
