"AngularJS For .Net Developers" I don't get that. Is HTML different in Microsoft world?

For some definition of "different". See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms537512%28VS.85%29.... for example.

Conditional comments have nothing to do with .NET devleopment.

if you think devs working on these framework don't understand client side javascript/HTML framework on its own and need to be explained for their particular framework, may be they outta be not writing code at all. Also, another thing that bothers me about MS is that they hide so much real HTML/javascript from devs with visual basic like facade called webforms that MS devs don't get into a new platform unless they see…

Webforms hasn't been Microsoft's first-class web development platform for a while. We are a .NET shop and most teams excusively use MVC for all our new web development, which exposes HTML/JS at a very unobstructed level. Microsoft is moving even further in that direction with Web API, which does largely transform ASP.NET into a "dumb" REST endpoint completely separate from the HTML/JS clientside.

Good to know

End-to-end sounds interesting! Thanks for creating this. I'll watch these tonight! I've been playing with Angular for a lil bit. The things that frustrate me as a learner are: 1) Lack of good end-to-end examples. 2) Situations where things just don't work, and give no feedback as to what went wrong. Am I just using Angular JS incorrectly or does this happen to everyone?

While learning Angular, it pays to really understand how the $scope works, when $watch'es are fired, and when you need to explicitly call an $apply, etc. What are some examples where things just don't work? While I was learning angular, a lot of times I had assumed things were available in scope when they were not. Some built-in directives like ng-repeat will create local copies of scope so I would try to change a va…

Re showing when things don't work. That's the best part of the egghead videos; showing things broken.

I forget sometimes how much you learn from doing it wrong before doing it right.

So I was finally freeing up sometime to learn some frontend dev. Was going to focus on bootstrap. But would angular be better?

I'm trying to build up a toolset to rapidly build admin sections for services I work on which don't typically have users in the traditional sense.

I don't think the two are at all mutually exclusive--in fact, they play very nicely together (see [1]). Bootstrap is mainly a library to help with layout stuff, while AngularJS provides a way to structure the logic and bind it to the DOM. They're completely different libraries, so learn whichever is more applicable to what you're doing (or better yet, learn both).

They serve different purposes: Bootstrap is (mostly) a CSS framework for quickly laying out pages etc, while AngularJS is a Javascript framework for developing front-end application logic. They can be used together pretty effectively for rapid development.

I've been working on a screencast series that should get you up to speed on AngularJS pretty quickly; I've got 3 parts so far: * Part 1: Intro to Angular JS (50 minutes) [1] * Part 2: End to End with Angular JS (52 minutes) [2] * Part 3: Security with Angular JS (30 minutes) [3] [1] - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ILQOFAgaXE [2] - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqAyiqUs93c [3] - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18ifo…

These are the best videos in the list, hands down.

Great tutorial, I finally understand how Angular fits together.

I've been meaning to look further into AngularJS, and it looks like this is the weekend to do it.
