Welcome to AngularJS, JavaScript, and jQuery All in One. This book is designed to jumpstart you into the world of dynamic web application development using JavaScript, jQuery, and AngularJS. The book covers the basics of the JavaScript language, jQuery library, and AngularJS framework and how to use them to build well-designed, reusable components for web applications.

With billions of people using the Internet today, there is a rapidly growing trend to replace traditional websites, where one page links to another page and so on, with single page applications that have richly interactive elements.

The main reason is that users have become less patient with clicking, waiting, and then having to navigate back and forth between web pages. Instead, they want websites to behave more like the applications they are used to on their computers and mobile devices.
