I would like to thank Domo Technologies for getting me started on frontend web development as well as Angular. I would like to thank my wife, Brooke, for her patience while I worked on this book, and all the other projects that have occupied my time.
Ladislav Gažo is a long-time computer enthusiast and has been digging into the software world since his youth. He has more than 12 years of professional experience in development and software engineering. While starting experiments with computer graphics and network administration, he realized the true path is toward the combination of software engineering and business. He has been developing, analyzing, and architecting Java-based, desktop-based, and finally, modern web-based solutions for several years. The application of the Agile approach and advanced technology is both his hobby and daily job.
Rich experience with various technologies led him to cofound Seges, a software development company in Slovakia. He actively participates in start-up events and helps build development communities, namely Google Developer Group and Java Group, in Slovakia. With his colleagues, he designed and spun off an interactive content management solution called Synapso, utilizing contemporary technologies combined with user experience in mind.
He has also worked on the books Learning Apache Karaf, Apache Karaf Cookbook, and Learning Karaf Cellar, all by Packt Publishing.
I would not have been able to realize my knowledge as part of the review process of this book without the support of all my colleagues, friends, and family. Creating a good long-term environment helped me gain the experience that I can pass further on.

Preface
Where is AngularJS? Since AngularJS's inception, it has been deployed into a multitude of different environments, mostly due to its flexibility and extensibility. Parallel to Angular's rise are developer tools such as Apache Cordova and Chrome packaged apps. These have given developers the opportunity to deploy web applications on platforms that were previously dominated by languages such as Java and C. With these advancements, AngularJS apps can now be found in the Chrome Web Store, Google Play Store, Apple App Store, PlayStation Store, and Firefox Marketplace, all in addition to traditional in-browser web applications. To see examples of other members of the AngularJS community that are built on AngularJS, https://builtwith.angularjs.org/ is a phenomenal place. As AngularJS and its community mature, I suspect that the aforementioned question will become "Where isn't AngularJS?"
Without a talented and thriving developer community, AngularJS would not be the framework that it is today. The most apparent metric I found to measure this phenomenon is the rate at which the new versions of AngularJS are released. At its apex, it reaches 3 minor releases in 1 day and 5 minor releases per month in March 2014. To help the community and contributors keep up with the pace of development, the AngularJS core team maintains the website https://dashboard.angularjs.org/, which provides a real-time snapshot into the current build status of AngularJS's core. Because of its extensible design, contributors have also been able to enhance AngularJS's core through the development of third-party modules, services, filters, and directives. Some examples are the popular REST Angular module for consuming RESTful APIs, the Angular-UI frontend framework, Ionic Framework for mobile UIs, Firebase real-time data storage and syncing, and Yoeman generators for Angular.
What this book covers
Chapter 1, Our App and Tool Stack, explains the tooling process, which is one of the hottest topics in today's web development community, and AngularJS has a suite of tools that enhances your developer experience. You will learn about Angular's tool stack, how they fit together, and most notably, how they can help you deploy and maintain future applications.
Chapter 2, Deploying to Apache, explains why Apache, being the most popular web server environment, is a solid platform for hosting most Angular applications. You will get an opportunity to enhance Apache's default configuration to best support your Angular application. We will also discuss best practices to determine whether Apache is suitable for your type of application or whether an alternate infrastructure should be considered.
Chapter 3, Deploying to Heroku, discusses Heroku, which is one of the best platforms as a service. Its infrastructure empowers developers to spin up, deploy to, and scale their own Node.js servers at a minimal cost. Deploying to Heroku is a positive developer experience because its tool speed and efficiency are second to none.
Chapter 4, Deploying to Firebase Hosting, explains why Firebase has only been offering PaaS for a few months, but the promise of hosting your application code in the same environment as your real-time database has created a lot of interest around the Firebase services. You will learn how Firebase is preconfigured to optimally serve the AngularJS applications and how to further tailor Firebase Hosting to your application's needs.
Chapter 5, Deploying a Mobile App, explains why hybrid mobile apps is not a new idea, but the quality and tooling around it has made it a strong contender when building a mobile application. We will take our application's code and build it for Android/iOS using PhoneGap, Apache Cordova, and Cordova Chrome Apps.
Chapter 6, Deploying as Chrome Apps, explains why Chrome OS's adoption is growing at an exponential rate and the need for developers to support this platform is parallel in importance. Angular thrives in this environment, and deploying our application as a Chrome App for consumption on the Chrome Web Store/Chrome OS is an exciting frontier for both developers and consumers.
Chapter 7, Postdeployment, explains why deployment is no exception to the marketing adage of "rinse, lather, repeat", because it is never finished. Optimizing your workflow with best practices is necessary to ensure the longevity of your application. We will enhance our application and grok how to safely deploy the enhancement into production.
Chapter 8, Conclusion – AngularJS Deployment Essentials, explains that harnessing the tools will allow you to deploy a single AngularJS application to new platforms and new customers. We will discuss a few tips that will help you get the best out of these tools.
What you need for this book
The materials needed for this book include the, somewhat obvious, tools typically associated with most forms of web development. This includes a computer with the operating system of your choice, a stable Internet connection, an application to create and edit text files, basic working knowledge of your computer's command line, an instance of each modern web browser, and because it is paramount to stay hydrated while growing new information, water. All other software and tools needed to accomplish the examples in this book are covered in Chapter 1, Our App and Tool Stack.
Who this book is for
This book is designed to build your existing knowledge of AngularJS development with the tools and best practices necessary to successfully deploy an application into a stable production environment. Thus, prior understanding of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, the MV* architecture, and AngularJS are needed by you to fully implement the techniques and best practices covered in this book. If you have committed to this book and aren't feeling confident about the antecedent criterion, the AngularJS community has published a surfeit of free resources (listed as follows) that will adequately prepare you to assimilate the knowledge to come:
