AngularJS Fundamentals in 60 mins
I have been spending a lot of time lately looking at the variety of JS MVC frameworks and how to use them in my next RhoMobile application. You may have seen I did on some considerations for selecting the right framework for your app. From that you can clearly see that AngularJS has been gaining a lot of traction in the community. Well I came across this great video that made the lightbulb go off in my head as to why this may be the case. The video walks through the basics and builds concepts as he goes through the fundamentals you will need to get started. I really like how he blends code examples with presentation. Have a look, it is well worth it.
Once you get a taste and maybe play around with the framework, take a look at the guide we have on docs.rhomobile.com for using AngularJS with RhoMobile. Stay tuned, I will be updating my JS MVC CRUD demo to include Angular as well. Right now it just has Ember JS as I walked through in a recent presentation.

Hi Steve,
What this tells me is that there is an issue with the version of Webkit we use on Windows and the one on Mac for RhoSim. Although they are both QT Webkit obviously they are different versions. This webkit used in RhoSim is not as current as platform Emulators like Android and iOS and definately not as modern as what is on the device. I do not have any updates to apply to the Windows RhoSim to update the webkit. I would suggest that you run it on the Android Emulator on your Win Desktop or on a device (yes I know Android Emulator is a lot slower, but I think that is the only solution right now)

Rob,Is any update planned on this? We are looking at using Angular with Rho on a couple of projects, but the example you linked to doesn't work in Rho Simulator running on Windows. I found a thread from October last year (<a href></a>) which seems to indicate that it will work on Mac but not Windows - which implies that Angular and Rho aren't completely incompatible, but doesn't really help developers with Windows machines. We could switch to Ember or one of the other frameworks, but Angular has some features we would find really useful.ThanksSteve
