★★☆☆☆
Deep dive into a very shallow and polluted pool.
This book was rushed through the presses. It's supposed to be a deep dive into the features of AngularJS but it does nothing of that at all. The book just glances on the basics of creating controllers, modules, filters, directives, and basic testing. There are several errors in the examples of this book even with the Kindle version which should have been updated. The github examples are also out of sync with the book. The examples are quite thin and gets the reader started off in the wrong foot by giving very little emphasis on how to not pollute the global namespace.
I have been a reader of O'Reilly books from the 90s and the recent quality of their books have really gone down in quality. It seems like their editors have been on vacation for quite some time now.
