What Angular is NOT

AngularJS...

is not a JavaScript library (e.g jQuery)

is not a Platform (e.g .Net, Java) or a Language (e.g C#)

is not a Plugin or a browser extension

doesn’t abstract away HTML, CSS, or JavaScript

doesn’t require jQuery or inheritance from proprietary types

doesn’t use one-way data binding

doesn’t require boilerplate code

is not that complicated

What Angular is

“Superheroic JavaScript MVW Framework” - angularjs.org

The Creator.Miško Hevery.

“Angular is what the web browserwould have been, had it been

designed for applications”

Angular is a client-sideMVC framework but...

“there is complete lack of an angularAPI. There is nothing to inherit,

nothing to call, and no complex lifecycle for your controllers to follow [...]

It really is just a better browser.”

Demo!

Hello World!

<p>Hello World</p>

Hello !

Enter name

Hello [name]!
