2. Framework or library?
Library
Framework
Backbone
Angular
It has conventions (well sort of)
Ember

3. Rails setup
config/routes.rb
app/controllers/angular_controller.rb
app/views/angular/app.html.erb
This blank template is needed to stop rails freaking out - there
is almost certainly a better way of handling this.

4. Define an app

5. Setup some routing
app/assets/javascripts/app/app.js

6. …and a controller
app/assets/javascripts/app/controllers.js

7. A rendered page

8. As if by magic
…some binding occurs
…but how?

9. Dirty checking
Check $scopes and copy
Check again against the copies
Repaint DOM if required

10. Server communication

11. $resource service
app/assets/javascripts/app/resources.js

12. Err.. no

13. app/assets/javascripts/app/resources.js
app/assets/javascripts/app/controllers.js

14. Promises

15. Testing
For unit testing - use Jasmine

16. spec/javascripts/controller…/dashboardControllerSpec.js

17. spec/javascripts/controller…/dashboardControllerSpec.js
Huzzah!

18. Directives

19. The API is doesn’t have to be the source of truth

20. Thank you $watching
$scope.$watch('forQuestions', !
function(silence, question) {!
console.log(possibleEruditeResponse);!
}!
