I might take a look at this, have not yet looked into Angular.

It is a little disappointing to disable javascript and refresh the page at www.learn-angular.org, it's just a blank page. As much as I'm a javascript fan, and have made single page apps, a completely blank page without JS just feels wrong. I'm guessing this isn't the fault of Angular.. or is it?

While Angular can certainly be used for simple progressive enhancement-kind interactions, its strength lies in single page/fat client apps, and in this case not having javascript and still getting basic functionality would mean duplicating it on the server. Still, it would be a good idea to display a noscript message alerting the user about the JS requirement.

Blank landing pages = bad CEO,no matter how much escape fragment or trick one pulls. And CEO still make a difference,when the social echo dims.

While I agree that having a good CEO is important for any company, it this case SEO would be much more relevant ;)

Sure, but sometimes you need to build an internal app or something else where SEO doesn't matter.

CodeSchool recently launched a (Google sponsored, free) Angular course with exercises too: http://campus.codeschool.com/courses/shaping-up-with-angular... The more the merrier!

Looks promising, but the videos don't seem to buffer for me at least. My internet isn't strong enough to play it continuously so I normally just pause videos, wait a few minutes, then try playing them. Doesn't seem to make a difference with their videos for some reason. Any tips?

They're probably using DASH[1]. The video is split into several segments and therefore the player will fill the bufer only until the end of the current segment.

Below each codeschool video you have a download link, so you can view them offline.
