My understanding is angular is not like anything else. Maybe somewhat like ember but still different.
What I have heard over and over is that backbone has a longer curve to get started because to even build a simple app you have to know the framework well, whereas with angular you can build a simple app fairly fast, but the advanced topics like directives, scopes, transclusion etc are a bit tougher to grasp and take longer to learn. Once you master backbone it is said you can build quicker, but you can master aspects of angular and still not use it fully. You also start with basics in backbone and "include" libraries as you want to do more, whereas angular bring a ton of features to begin with I did a week's worth of tutorials in backbone and hated it then I tried angular. I liked angular much better and it was because I am very comfortable with html and the front end. Angular allows you to work with html as its claimed to be "what html would be if it was dynamic" or something to that effect. My suggestion is like many people will say. Spend about a week with them both and see which one feels more comfortable to you. Find some youtube tutorials and learn enough to start a small app then try the small app in both and see which one feels more natural On Friday, April 18, 2014 9:06:20 AM UTC-4, Jackie Wang wrote: > > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "AngularJS" group.
