I'm a self-taught developer, and the learning curve was steep. The to-do app, and Lindquist's videos made it significantly easy, though.

i believe there is an improve doc button. If you find AngularJS valuable , dont hesitate ;)
If the person can't understand how to use the thing, how would that person improve the documentation?
he got past the do and "understood how to use the thing"
Is there a similarly pitched tutorial about how to persist this back to a server, or how to write an API service that interacts best with the AngularJS model? Nothing in the list of video titles suggests that kind of help.
All the introductory stuff for AngularJS I've seen so far is "client-side" - auto-updating bindings, the ToDo list etc. Is there a similarly pitched tutorial about how to persist this back to a server, or how to write an API service that interacts best with the AngularJS model?

Angular is agnostic of the back-end. Just use the $http service to read/write async from the server. The angular model is whatever your model is - there are no restrictions
Everyone keeps saying I should use Restangular instead of ngResource but so far I haven't seen any good reasons to. Anyone care to enlighten me?
I'm building a fairly big Django/Angular project with ngResource and have been trying to replace it with Restangular, which has a nice API. But both have pros and cons:
What I like about ngResource is that returned data is automagically filled in as soon as the AJAX request completes. I can do this:
function controller(Resource) {
$scope.thing = Resource.get(); // here $scope.thing is an empty object, will be filled in as soon as data arrives
$scope.do = function() { alert ($scope.thing.name); }
}
function controller(Restangular) {
$scope.thing = Restangular.one('thing', 1).get();
// $scope.thing is a promise, I can't directly access its members in the controller, but since angular templating has native support of promises, I can use {{thing.name}} there.
$scope.do = function() {
$scope.thing.then(function(thing) {
alert(thing.name);
}
}
}
function controller(Restangular) {
// I think that's ugly
Restangular.one('thing', 1).get().then(function(thing) {
$scope.thing = thing;
}
// $scope.do will be the same as in the ngResource example
}
What I'd like from both is a nice getOrCreate method for elements, where it POSTs if the object doesn't have an ID set, otherwise sends a PUT. In CRUD forms I try to use the same controller for both "new" and "edit" actions, and I don't want to check the presence of ID and call the appropriate method every time.
Also, if Angular could handle REST data with a higher level library inspired by Ember.Data, I could die a happy programmer.

I understand that, but an application isn't an island; presumably a server that speaks JSON is easiest to deal with, and there are probably a number of gotchas on "how best to build a backend that works the way AngularJS works well". I've not found anything like that yet and I'd love someone to point me to it.
I also found https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5839553 to be super useful for actually getting started with AngularJS with no experience. Then moving onto egghead.io tutorials.
In addition to the first three tutorials I just put out another cast on tuesday, here's the full updated list: * 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] * Part 4: Frontend Workflows with Grunt and Angular JS (~60 minutes) [4] [1] - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ILQOFAgaXE [2] - http://www.youtube.com/watch…
