What Is Angular?

Angular is a TypeScript-based open-source web application framework led by the Angular Team at Google and by a community of individuals and corporations. Angular is a complete rewrite from the same team that built AngularJS (Wikipedia)

 

Although that is a nice description. It really does not tell us much. We can pick out a few things.

  • It it TypeScript-based. That’s important. It means at some point you will need to learn TypeScript. Here is a beginner’s guide.
  • It is open-source (free).
  • It is for building web applications.
  • It is a framework (unlike React which is made up of libraries). The difference? Inversion of Control

 

Development

Step One-Installation of The Angular CLI

With our tools installed, we will start our application by using the Angular Command Line Interface or CLI. This is the recommended method for starting a new project.

We will need a directory on your computer to store the application. You can create this as desired but mine will be simply be named FirstAngularApp. This is a folder for your application, not the application name. That will come later.

Open VSCode and open the folder in which you want your application (FirstAngularApp.)

Flutter: Everything is a widget

  Widgets The core concept of the Flutter framework is In Flutter, Everything is a widget . Widgets are basically user interface components used to create the user interface of the application. In Flutter , the application is itself a widget. The application is the top- level widget and its UI is build using one or more children (widgets), which again build using its children widgets. This composability feature helps us to create a user interface of any complexity. For example, the widget hierarchy of the hello world application (created in previous chapter) is as specified in the following diagram −   Here the following points are worth notable − MyApp is the user created widget and it is build using the Flutter native widget, MaterialApp . MaterialApp has a home property to specify the user interface of the home page, which is again a user created widget, MyHomePage . MyHomePage is build using another flutter native widget, Scaffold Scaffold has two properties – body an
