“A no-nonsense guide to two very popular web frameworks. Very relevant in 2023.”
Enter the world of the SPA and CMS.
A book that teaches you how to combine the forces of Angular and Wordpress.
“Angular & Wordpress” is a book with clearly defined steps of progression which clarifies quickly how best to join up these two frameworks.
Statistics repeatedly reveal Wordpress to be the most popular content management system (CMS) in the world of the internet, even now in 2023. Starting out as a platform which allowed non-coders quickly set up website blogs, it has evolved into a powerful all-in-one web development platform, underpinned by a huge worldwide community of contributing developers, and still thrives in 2023.
But caveat emptor. Wordpress was founded in 2003, and time has marched on somewhat.
The new kid on the block is the single page application (SPA), a relatively new way of doing things, and facilitated by frontend libraries/frameworks such as Vue, React, Angular and others.
But Wordpress still has enormous potential, as a backend framework, which modern SPAs are not. Unfortunately it’s not easy trying to dig out - from the official Wordpress docs - the best way to use an SPA with Wordpress. And that’s what this book clarifies. It fills that gaping gap. My SPA of choice is Angular, for its completeness and flexibility.
Who is this book for?
- Developers with a grasp of the fundamentals of Javascript and PHP.
- Developers who are new to, or have a little experience of, Angular and Wordpress.
- Angular developers who need a quick backend solution for their Angular app.
- Wordpress developers who need a quick and modern frontend solution.
- All developers who need to quickly build a fully functioning modern web application.
By the end of the book, you’ll have all the confidence you need to dig in and start creating powerful web applications and websites with full e-commerce functionality (via Stripe). This book will have you covered for many of the scenarios you will find yourself in, in your web development work.

Author
John Manners – Hey there, I’m the author behind ‘Angular & Wordpress’.
I’m a web developer of many years experience. In another life I spent five years as a secondary school teacher in Ireland, the equivalent of high school in other countries. I taught mathematics and the Irish language. Both extremely complicated topics. But I was successful because I learned how to impart information clearly and concisely. No waffle. And I bring that wealth of experience to this course on Angular and Wordpress. There are many books and online courses currently in existence on web development which are overly bloated. The author pads out his or her material in order to make the course look long and thus comprehensive. Information is unnecessarily repeated. Not so here. I will go straight to the point. I won’t waste your time or my time. And that’s why this book appears quite short compared to typical web development books. There will be no waffle. I will give you the information you need, clearly and efficiently, and nothing else. So join me on this unique course where we will unleash the combined power of two of the most popular frameworks on the web in 2023, Angular and Wordpress.
