For those commenting on the poor quality of Angular's documentation (a complaint I share), check out John Lindquist's videos at http://egghead.io/ http://egghead.io/ . They're not comprehensive, but John spends a great deal of time explaining the nuances of directives, especially isolate scopes and transclusion and his explanations are clear and intuitive. Prior to finding John's videos, I watched all of the "official" Angular videos which I found more often frustrating than illuminating, but John set me straight. Can't recommend enough. And if you're struggling to ramp up on Angular, I would recommend sticking it out. The learning curve is steep (or is that gradual?--I never understood this analogy), but once it clicks, your productivity will go through the roof. Angular has redefined what I mean when I say "rapid prototyping."

I second this. The videos are really great and are delivered in a way (short, to the point) that really helped me connect the dots in the areas where the Angular documentation wasn't sufficient. Especially the directive api, John does a great job there explaining isolate scope which was confusing to me for a while. Once you get it down you begin to realize how powerful Angular is.

I agree. I've been going through his tutorials and they are great. Fire up sublime with node.js running as a simple http server and you can quickly follow along building simple apps that will get you up to speed.

100% agree. Single best angular resource on the web. Especially w/r/t his isolate scope explanations.
