Did you drink the AngularJS KoolAid(r)? If you have already started developing in AngularJS, you know by now that there are little things that can catch you by surprise. That is what this session is all about: little tips and tricks that can help you reach 'Ahah!' moments with AngularJS.

This session is aimed toward beginning Angular developers who are struggling with questions like:

  • What is the best way to have controllers communicate?
  • Why is $scope often getting in my way?
  • How does $q and the promise API work in Angular?
  • How do $apply and $digest work (and more importantly, why you should or shouldn't use them)?

We'll walk through these questions and more as we help flesh out a mental model of AngularJS, helping participants become more familiar with this powerful JavaScript framework.
