1.x

  It ought to mention this somewhere, no? Otherwise I suspect some people might feel they'd wasted 5 hours learning a possibly-soon-to-be-outdated technology. (This would be less important for Rails, say, where the changes between 4 and the next major release - or even between 3 and 4 - would be less drastic.)

    Agreed. It would also be nice to see some resources on getting ready for 2, perhaps a course on ecmascript 6.

    The Angular team has said a few times that they're committed to supporting 1.x for a long time[1] since they use 1.x a ton. Also the design for 2.0 hasn't been completed yet, so it'd be a bit premature to cover it in a codeacademy course [1]http://angularjs.blogspot.com/2014/10/ng-europe-angular-13-and-beyond.html http://angularjs.blogspot.com/2014/10/ng-europe-angular-13-a...

      I agree there shouldn't be a course covering Angular 2.0 yet. But I would also say that any course that you can start today which covers Angular 1.x probably should mention (in big text!) that there's a big new version of Angular coming out in the not-too-distant future and that it is fundamentally very different from the current version of Angular. I feel less bad about companies being screwed over by this sort of massive change - any tech manager/architect/lead who is researching what JavaScript stacks to choose for future projects should either already know about Angular 2.0 or have the available means to find out about it (and if they either don't or can't, they're basically just bad at the job they're being paid to do) - but for students, in any sense of the word, it's a different matter.

    You're right, we probably ought to mention that in the description, regardless of how long the Angular team will be supporting 1.x. Sending that feedback to the content team. ETA: http://www.codecademy.com/learn/learn-angularjs http://www.codecademy.com/learn/learn-angularjs "Learn how to build web apps using AngularJS 1.x. By the end of the course, you'll be able to use AngularJS to create powerful apps of your own."

      Great! Well done.

  I still see many courses being offered for Angular 1. People are probably interested in learning 1 because demand is still high.
