Angular 2.0 Enterprise Application Development

Transform business to client-side development

Today’s modern companies rely on web-based software to operate efficiently and provide value to their customers. These applications often contain custom and intricate business logic that gives businesses an edge over their competition. The new version of Angular provides a solid foundation to rapidly and efficiently build and scale advanced cross-platform applications.

The most exciting thing about Angular 2 is the fact that it is now much more than a tool for building web applications. Indeed, the main challenge that Angular 2 tackles is the integration of various development platforms. For organizations with applications running on multiple platforms (Web, Mobile Web, Android, iOS, Windows, Mac, Linux) it is often tedious to share code as developers have varying skillsets. This code multiplicity makes the application development process a lot harder than it should be. Angular 2 resolves this issue by allowing developers to reuse components across multiple platforms, therefore creating code that can map across all platforms. This opens the door to huge potential gains in efficiency for organizations, thus reducing project time and cost.

Angular 2 allows businesses to transform to a client-side software development model and pivot in an agile manner while still maintaining strict IT controls on core backend services that drive the business logic behind the scenes.

Angular 2 uses Microsoft TypeScript (a superset of JavaScript) as main programming language. This simplifies the development process by significantly decreasing the number of decisions that developers have to make. Therefore, it allows developers to focus on what really matters: the user experience. Google recommends to use Microsoft’s TypeScript language, which brought improvements such as: Class-based Object Oriented Programming, Generics and Lambdas etc... TypeScript is a superset of ECMAScript 6, and the Angular 2.0 has adopted some of ES6’s features: Iterators, For/Of loops and Reflection.

Key points to use Angular 2

Ø Built for use with TypeScript for fewer errors in code.

Ø Client side will be decoupled from the server side, so development work will progress in parallel.

Ø Amount of JavaScript coding will be reduced, and it will be easier for you to see the potential of the application.

Ø Improved Testability.

Ø Component friendly.

Ø Built-in command line interface for standardized template.

Ø Easier to understand API.

Ø Improved debugging.
