Benefits of Learning Angular

Benefits of Learning Angular

There’s a lot of platforms and tools out there, so what makes Angular so special? What sort of advantages does it bring to the table, that it’s so important for developers to know its ins and outs? Here are some of Angular’s most impressive advantages:

• Less Coding

  The best code is short but effective, getting the most functionality with expending the least effort. Fortunately, Angular supports Model View Controlling architecture (MVC). All the developer needs to do is split their code to fit into the MVC architecture, and Angular takes care of the rest! No worries about having to do the MVC pipeline.

• Ease of Integration

  There’s a host of frameworks out there that have Angular already built into them, including Kendo UI, Wijmo, and Ionic, to name a few. That just goes to show that Angular plays well with others.

• Single Page Applications Supported

  A Single Page Applications is defined as a web application that loads a single HTML page. The page is then updated dynamically according to the users’ interaction with the web app. Single Page Applications, or SPAs for short, can communicate with the back-end servers without having to refresh the full webpage for the purposes of loading data in the application. No one likes waiting too long for a full webpage to reload, so SPAs are able to provide better user experience by reducing load times.

• Angular Uses a Declarative User Interface

  Angular uses HTML, and that’s an important point. When it comes to defining an application’s user interface, HTML is the best choice. HTML is an intuitive and declarative language and is not as complex as JavaScript.
  
  The presentational logic is separated from the imperative logic when you’re using a declarative user interface. That means that program flow and component loading order on the webpage are non-issues. Just define the page’s layout, define where the data is being bound and what it is being bound to, and relax. Angular will take it from there, much as it does with coding.

• Angular Gives You Modularity

  When it comes to modularity in the specific context of Angular, you should think of the code as being organized into “buckets”, except that with Angular, the buckets are known as “modules”. A module holds related components, directives, pipes, and collected services, and groups of these reusable modules store the application’s code. Additionally, these modules can be combined with one another for the purposes of creating an entire application. This method of app creation offers several valuable advantages. For instance, it lets a program perform lazy-loading, where one or more application features are loaded on demand. Intelligent use of lazy-loading will dramatically increase an application’s efficiency.
  
  The advantage of modularity becomes even more crucial when you bear in mind that enterprise applications are prone to grow very large. Increased app size poses a challenge to the division of labor across multiple teams, and that kind of challenge can create problems with collaboration. But by using modules, the code is kept organized and therefore the division of labor is done properly and easily, all the while maintaining code consistency.

• Cross-Platform Versatility

  And now we come to the final point. There are so many choices of platforms out there, so it stands to reason that a framework that can accommodate any of the needed app types is a framework worth knowing. Angular can make applications for:
  
  

  Desktop Applications

  Angular creates desktop-installed applications for Mac, Windows, and Linux. That pretty much covers the important platforms.

  
  Web Applications
  

  Angular is well-suited for web development. In fact, for Angular versions five and higher, you can also develop progressive web applications. Progressive web applications are characterized by high performance and working offline as well.
  

  
  Native Mobile Applications
  

  Smartphone apps coded in a specific programming language (e.g. Objective C for iOS or Java for Android) are called native mobile applications and yes, Angular can tackle them as well.
