With all the attention Ember is getting lately I'm glad to see Angular getting some attention.

Ember tends to go completely forgotten aside from a small burst of activity yesterday.

Speaking of which, I started a project in Ember and quickly encountered the primary reason why it is dangerous to change conventions and APIs -- searching for basic information on how to do certain things brings me to various StackOverflow posts, etc, most of which are just entirely wrong now.

I tend to dive a lot into a source code when I am working with a library. You always have missing spots in documentation but you can actually know what's going on by reading the code. This is one of the reasons I am super comfortable with Backbone.

However I cannot comprehend Angular's source code on github. Can anyone give me pointers on where to start reading it and/or how it's organized?

The video tutorial mentioned[1] really is excellent, and it's recent too so it's not out of date.

AngularJS' strict adherence to separation of concerns is definitely a breath of fresh air.

I've found The tutplus angularjs course to be very beginner's friendly.

The first feedback I always heard from new angularjs developer is: "A completely different approach that I've seen before... it's so productive".

Great blog post :)

It's worth noting that stackoverflow has some wiki blood in it; if an answer is out of date, you can edit it.

It shares a lot of principles with Apache Flex. It's seen huge uptake by expat Flash platform devs.

After a year on a large project using Angular, I'm loving it more every day.

So many client side js libraries. Can anybody help compare Ember, Meteor, Angular and Backbone?
