This is the Moby Dick of the Manning catalog at 29 chapters and 848 pages.
I felt like this lent itself pretty well to completing 1 chapter per session at 60 or 90 minutes per chapter (not just reading but working through the examples).
In the early chapters (1-8) he just kind of demos what Angular can do without delving into the details too much, then after that he goes into more of a deep dive on each topic. So if you already have some Angular experience you might want to skip the first 8 chapters.
I liked his attention to detail in the examples. For example, he reminds you to shut down your running example when you are finished.
There is really a lot to learn when it comes to Angular and this by no means covers everything, but I would say if you read this and work through the examples you will have a solid foundation with the most important Angular topics.
It seems to be available as an ebook only which I found slightly annoying. I like to have these sitting like a trophy on my bookcase. But OK.
