Hi Neil,

Great work with your learning site! It was excellent of you to take it upon 
yourself to do that. Would say there are certain implicit pre-requisites to 
learning AngularJS, such as HTML, Javascript, and perhaps some knowledge of CSS 
amongst other things. If you are also trying to fill that gap, then great.

My own experience with learning Angular has been excellent. It only took a few 
short weeks of dedicated effort to learn Angular sufficiently to be highly 
productive, and also write and release a comprehensive commercial site using 
AngularJS for the UI. There really are plenty of excellent learning resources, 
from Hello World style examples right through to comprehensive commercial 
starting point apps. Yes, I do have some experience with building enterprise 
applications, and have had exposure to web technologies in the past. But the 
documentation has largely been better than I have had experience with using 
other technologies, especially proprietary in-house stuff where any 
documentation is rare.

Please check out this AngularJS user group thread titled "Render different 
layout views"  - only a couple of days old. Billy put together some really 
helpful links, that co-incidentally I had also used. Endorsing those 
suggestions, I added a couple of my favourites. Further, I would point people 
of all levels at PluralSight. This is a great training site.

Do get your valid point, how to structure an AngularJS application is not fully 
clear when starting out for the first time, and different developers have 
different preferences (grouping by type such as controller, versus by 
functional area etc) to this. But a little research online, and you'll quickly 
discover lots of resources, videos where this gets discussed and solutions 
offered. And if you want an opinionated starting point, then something like 
Yeoman or Lineman can at least point you at one proposal to get started. Then 
there are books with application samples freely available for download or on 
Github sites etc. And asking this forum for answers to question that prove hard 
to solve is the way to go.

Best regards,
