 ====== An AngularJS Tutorial ======
-[[https://angularjs.org/|{{:angularjs:angularjs-logo48.png?nolink&36|A}}]] lot of [[https://angularjs.org/|AngularJS]] books and tutorials start with the framework's data binding features, then move on to controllers and models, and then finally to routes. This sequence doesn't fit the way my brain wants to grok things. AngularJS is a framework for writing [[wp>Single_page_application|SPA]]s, and it uses an [[wp>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model%E2%80%93view%E2%80%93controller|MVC]]-ish architecture. Thus it seems to make more sense to me to learn the framework the way I learn other MVC-ish frameworks:

-The factory and service we created above are very simplistic.

All we've done so far is some primitive R. To do CUD, it will help a thing or two about data binding.
