Angular is god's gift to programming bloggers. The documentation is so famously patchy, contradictory and impenetrable that an entire cottage industry of talmudic literature has sprung up around it overnight. I've spent the last two weeks slicing and dicing the developer guide and all the directly related API documentation -- this one-page demo is better than the entire Angular tutorial. It also covers the most impor…
I am just starting up web development and have decided to use Django for backend. However, this Angular vs Ember comparisons have lowered my confidence as I think whatever choice "I" make, will turn out wrong in the long run. Can the experienced people here tell me what I should choose? I am fine with either style of approach to HTML(template vs declarative) and I just want a batteries included framework, which I can…
Don't worry so much about picking the right tools. Just pick something that is popular and start using it. You want something that is popular to start with because a) there will be a large support community and b) there will be more jobs available for someone who knows a popular framework. That second point is most important, because until you start building/working on an in-production project, most of your efforts w…

The article above by Jesus Rodriguez is a good article. It shows how Angular is easy to create _very_ small widgets with. But it doesn't tell you much about how to write a big application.
My experience with Ember (we're creating a very large app with around 100 different routes) is extremely good. More functionality != more bulk. All new features we add to the app fit nicely with the existing code. We never have to go back and refactor large parts of the app. It's the same simple pattern you apply over and over again. I seem to get the opposite impression from Angular apps, where as soon as your app grows more complex you need to take a lot of things in a different direction.
Take a look for yourself at some big and serious companies who are building large open source Ember apps:

I wanted to use it, but couldn't use it with Bootstrap (I know), so it was back to CoffeeScript and Backbone for me.
You can use either angular ui or angularstrap to get native angular support for bootstrap
(I know I'm pretty much combining "hip" programming buzzwords here, but I am curious.)

If I were starting again, I'd start with something like the mean.io. It's a stack that's javascript from database to front end. You'll be starting with the latest and in only one language, which could lower your learning curve a bit.

I'm currently contemplating if I should use AngularJS or Ember.js for my upcoming project. Although I have experience using Ember, I was kind of put off by it because of a) the fundamental changes they made to the routing system in a very late stadium of the platform’s development (AFAIK it was officially introduced in Ember 1.0 prerelease) and b) Ember can be a mind-bender sometimes when you’re working on a large ap…

I would recommend you to take a deeper look at Ember.js. The article above by Jesus Rodriguez is a good article. It shows how Angular is easy to create _very_ small widgets with. But it doesn't tell you much about how to write a big application. My experience with Ember (we're creating a very large app with around 100 different routes) is extremely good.

Are you sure you want to use Django?
Regarding ROR, I'd say I have never even seen the language or the framework. Since I have done previous work in NLP/ML I was inclined to learn python so that I can utilize the huge spectrum of Python based ML/NLP libraries, which I believe Ruby lacks.

"They say that great athletes make bad coaches. Why? Because they can't explain what came instinctively." Thank you for finally explaining to me why mathematicians are such famously bad teachers of math. They just start scribbling symbols without explaining what they mean because of course you know what they mean...
I first heard it from one of the world's most experienced weightlifting coaches, Lyn Jones. It explained a lot to me too. The corollary is that people who love something, but can't do it easily, tend to be good coaches. Because they've had to really make an effort and have diligently sought out ways to improve themselves. Put another way: "those who can't do, teach" isn't an insult to teachers. It's praise .
