Chapter 1. Introduction to Angular Material
Abstract
Web application development has evolved in recent years. Earlier JavaScript was primarily used for form validations; to check if user provided data in required form fields or if a phone number followed a pattern and so on. With the advent of Ajax, integration with services (on server) is possible without reloading the whole page. Due to more powerful client machines and browsers, rich front-end development is done with JavaScript, HTML, and CSS.
