intro-to-angularjs

Screencast published May 3, 2013

Walk through building a sample application with AngularJS to learn some of the basics along with some commentary that contrasts it with jQuery / Backbone.JS; this was produced for a talk I gave at Prairie DevCon in Winnipeg, MB, May 6-7, 2013. Some things you can expect to learn the basics on:

• angular.module
• angular.controller
• angular.directive
• angular.$routeProvider
• angular.factory
• ng-app, ng-model, ng-submit, ng-click
• $scope, inheritance, and its relationship with the DOM
• contrasting some of angular w/ jQuery/Backbone
