How prevalent is Angular in the wild? To me, it's always seemed like something people would learn to show that they know more "cool" technologies. With its steep learning curve, how useful is it to spend the time learning it properly?


Saw your work on this a while ago. Love the changes you've made to it since then. Hoping to get a weekend free to try it out.

edit: Your link sends a user directly to the content. I love the structure of the content, I was just a little confused, because I thought you linked us to the homepage. It also might just be my 13' macbook, but I think it may be zoomed in a little too much. I had to zoom out to ~75% for it to be comfortable reading.


What about your site makes this 'easy'? Can you explain how the learning path on your site differs from other ways of learning angular?


Did you even click the link and read a few paragraphs? It's pretty clear that this is different than most tutorials, comprehensively covering a range of basic topics from the ground-up, and placing available resources into their contexts.


Can anyone click the link at the moment? I just get a 504... Really interested in this, it sounds amazing but I can't see it.


It should be working now; the traffic may have brought it down!


It went through for me so try now.


My favourite part about this resource is that it ties in a lot of the disparate resources that AngularJS newbies are first introduced to - but it puts them in perspective, provides context, and introduces parts of each where they are most relevant and useful.

Thanks for building it.


I gave this a try and really liked it. Definitely easier than some of the other stuff I've tried out there for learning AngularJS. Great work!


This is brilliant, thank you. I've been looking for a way to introduce Angular to the team and your site will really help.


Good resource!
