Is there a demo of the finished app somewhere? I don't want to read or buy the tutorial before I see how good the actual result is.

To add on to what mfrisbie said: If you want a good 3rd party opinion on the quality of the tutorial, you might want to see what Brad Green (the guy who manages the AngularJS team at Google) has to say about it - https://twitter.com/bradlygreen/status/373134106936090624

One advantage of the MEAN stack is that you only need to know javascript to start developing on it, which saves time and brainpower to get started. That being said, I'm curious if there are other advantages to learn the MEAN stack?

It's super simple to set up. We're actually thinking of doing a Firebase version of our tutorial, as there would be no local set up (other than hosting the static files).

I'm not sure if I'm more excited or creeped out. Yesterday, I decided I wanted to learn Angular and I figured making a fantasy football clone would be a fun, interesting way to do it -- something I'm vaguely passionate and vaguely knowledgeable about, something that isn't a Twitter clone, lots of numbers, something I can show to a few friends without having their eyes glaze over.

Then this came out. Super excited for the weekend so I can dive on through. Thanks, Matt -- but stop reading my mind.

(n.b.: I'd be more than willing to pay sticker price if I could get a physical copy instead. I know it's lame, and slightly more effort, but I don't have a monitor setup at the moment so I'd rather leaf through a book than scroll through an alt-tabbed .pdf.)

Why does the title say free but the link says $25 to download?

Looks like you can get the source code and the eBook as a .pdf for that amount.

I think of an ebook as something I can read without internet access. Is there something like that available for free on this website?

Edit: Print to PDF works, should have realized it was a single page app ;-). Thanks!
