AngularJS vs Angular

Question

I have studied a little of AngularJS and by going through, I saw an article about AngularJS vs Angular. Angular is the latest version with a very major update from AngularJS. So I also tried to study it and notice a big difference, there something like CLI, npm install, etc and make me kinda confused. So what should be my programming path, AngularJS to Angular (to easily grasp it) or just Angular?

Answer 1

For the present day trend go with Angular, AngularJS was the initial release which got completely rewritten in TypeScript and called Angular.

Note:: AngularJS does not have backward compatibility with Angular.

Most applications in AngularJS are gradually being migrated to Angular.

If you wont be supporting old platform jump into Angular...

Answer 2

I work with Angular 5 a lot at work, it's really useful for huge projects made from scratch

You have to learn a lot, but npm and Typescript are really usefull in every JavaScript heavy project

Smaller projects are better made with AngularJs or Vue (which im currently learning) or React (many companys are looking for React developers)

Answer 3

Alquen Currently, Angular 10 is the latest version. Go for Angular. Angular js was the very older version. If you have little knowledge on Java or JavaScript, Angular is easy.
