In just a short time, you can learn the basics of the JavaScript language, jQuery library, and AngularJS framework – and find out how to use them to build well-designed, reusable components for web applications.

Sams Teach Yourself AngularJS, JavaScript, and jQuery All in One assumes absolutely no previous knowledge of JavaScript or jQuery. The authors begin by helping students gain the relevant JavaScript skills they need, introducing JavaScript in a way specifically designed for modern AngularJS web development.
