Introducing AngularJS


AngularJS is a frontend JavaScript framework designed to build single-page applications using the MVC architecture. The AngularJS approach is to extend the functionality of HTML using special attributes that bind JavaScript business logic with HTML elements. The AngularJS ability to extend HTML allows cleaner DOM manipulation through client-side templating and two-way data binding that seamlessly synchronizes between models and views. AngularJS also improves the application's code structure and testability using MVC and dependency injection. Although starting with AngularJS is easy, writing larger applications is a more complex task, which requires a broader understanding of the framework's key concepts.
