Hello guys, if you are interested in learning the Angular framework, one of the most popular JavaScript frameworks for developing component-based Web GUI and looking for some awesome resources like courses, tutorials, and books, then you have come to the right place.

In this article, I am going to share some of the best resources like books, tutorials, and courses to learn the Angular framework, formerly known as Angular JS and now famous as simply Angular.

It's backed by Google, hence you should not worry about it being out-dated and lose relevance in a couple of years. Any investment you made in learning Angular will pay you rich dividends in the coming years.

As per StackOverflow's Survey, Angular is the second most popular framework after Node.js and one of the main reasons behind JavaScirpt's popularity among web developers.

Some of the best Angular courses, tutorials, and books for Web developers

Without wasting any more of your time, here are my favorite courses, tutorials, and books to learn Angular 2+. The list contains both free and paid resources, suitable for both beginners and intermediate front-end developers.

1. Angular (formerly Angular 2) --- The Complete Guide

Let me tell you first that I am a big fan of Max's teaching style and his courses. They are probably the best resources to learn Angular on the web and no surprise they are also the best-sellers on Udemy.

This course will help you to learn Angular (Angular 2+, incl. Angular 8) and build awesome, reactive web apps.

Instructor --- @Maximilian Schwarzmüller

Just check the preview of courses as they are free and won't take much of your time. I am sure you will fall in love with this course.

2. The Ng-book - A Complete Book on Angular (2021 Edition)

This book, also known as Ng-Book, has been often referred to as the bible of Angular. If you are looking for a simple yet detailed guide to the world of Angular, then this is the book for you. The book covers the following topics in Angular 9 (depending on the version you purchase). Plus, what is better than a book by the developers of the Framework themselves?

Chapter one covers Writing Your First Angular 9 Application and chapter two covers Binding Data to Components and introduction to Typescript, Using Annotations and Types. If you want, you can also combine this book with the Angular - The Complete Guide course by Maximilian on Udemy, which also covers Angular 9 and a solid resource for anyone looking for active learning.

It costs 79 dollars and you can either buy it on Amazon or their own site. They are also providing a free chapter, whose PDF you can download here.

3. Angular 2 Notes for Professionals

I am a big fan of StackOverflow and use it daily while doing a lot of programming and web development tasks.

It's full of great developers and experts and you get a good chance to learn from their experience.

How about a book, which is made of StackOverflow content? Well, Angular 2 Notes for Professionals is just that. It's a 200+ page free eBook full of tricks and tips from StackOverflow.

But, if you don't mind paying a few bucks for learning something as valuable as Angular then I also recommend you check out The ng-book by Nate Murray, Felipe Coury, Ari Learner, and Carlos Taborda. This is an in-depth, complete, and up-to-date book on Angular 9 and highly recommended by Angular experts. If you want to check, you download the first chapter for free here.

3. An Angular Tutorial --- Step by Step Guide to Your First Angular 5 App

Toptal, as the name suggests, is a website to find top talent in any technology but it also contains some of the most in-depth tutorials on different technologies.

If you are new to Angular then you can take this Angular 5 from Scratch tutorial to start your journey. No previous Angular experience required.

4. Learn and Understand AngularJS --- $10

The monthly membership cost around $29 and annual membership cost around $299 (save 14%), which gives access to not just this course but also 5000+ other technical courses.

If you are not sure, you can also try with a 10-day free trial which allows you to watch 200 minutes of course content for free.

I have also included some courses and books, as they provide more comprehensive learning and, most of the time is the best place to start.
