AngularJS Learning Resources

Re:AngularJS Learning Resources by ishbits on Friday June 07, 2013 @11:05PM (#5843552)

So I was finally freeing up sometime to learn some frontend dev. Was going to focus on bootstrap. But would angular be better?

I'm trying to build up a toolset to rapidly build admin sections for services I work on which don't typically have users in the traditional sense.

I don't think the two are at all mutually exclusive--in fact, they play very nicely together (see [1]). Bootstrap is mainly a library to help with layout stuff, while AngularJS provides a way to structure the logic and bind it to the DOM. They're completely different libraries, so learn whichever is more applicable to what you're doing (or better yet, learn both).

They serve different purposes: Bootstrap is (mostly) a CSS framework for quickly laying out pages etc, while AngularJS is a Javascript framework for developing front-end application logic. They can be used together pretty effectively for rapid development.

Oops. I meant to say Backbone not Bootstrap!! It was Backbone on my todo list, but Angular seems to be getting all the attention now.

Bootstrap= css + some javascript widgets

Angularjs = a very opinionated MVVM framework for web client applications ( think gmail , google reader , ... )
