I'm currently building a single page app using this MVC-MVC approach. I use Angularjs in the browser, now.js for the interface, and, at the moment, custom code on the server that follows the MVC pattern. The server is lightweight: its role is to * manage authentication and authorizations, * ensure data integrity and * push data on update according to user permissions. That's it. http://angularjs.org/ http://angularjs.org/ http://nowjs.com/ http://nowjs.com/

I am doing a simialr thing. Except ASP.NET MVC 4 Web API on the server and Angular.js on the client. It feels very natural and simple to me. What I find odd is Angular.js works very similar to Silverlight, and my whole setup has similarities to Silverlight with RIA services. Yet SL+RIA never felt natural at all and was very difficult. I've not narrowed down where the difference lies.

  Angular is very impressive. There are lots of small things that make it nice to use. Among them: The lexical/nested scoping in the templates is just perfect. I've reviewed the documentation of all competing frameworks, and I couldn't figure how to do it in any of them. Since it was a primary requirement for my app, I went for Angular. The service-based architecture, and the automatic service injection in controllers, based on parameter names are pretty nice too, as is the fact that you can pass arbitrary parameters to filters. In a calendar widget that displays a month, I pad the `month` array with days of the surrounding months in order to get complete weeks. I wanted to have these days styled differently. `dayName` and `idem` are custom filters. <ul id="calendar"> <li ng-repeat="day in month.days" class="day {{day.day|dayName}} this-month-{{day.month|idem:month.month}}"> <div class="date-number">{{day.date}}</div> Events go here. </li> </ul> In CSS: .this-month-false{opacity: 0.7;} .sunday{clear:both} .day{float:left;width=...;height=...;} Bam: calendar!
