Adventures in angular land

Since this blog is the nearest thing I have of a record of what I am doing, well I guess github might have parts of the story, but in general, if I want to recall what I did, here is where I come.

I started with a minor adventure of node.js land, including package managers (npm) and packages such as grunt. At one point I had my django site being served via grunt, which I undestand is another layer of the onion. Thinking this might be useful soon as I will be writing code. Live updates could be handy.

After this I still had to find some javascript with a pattern I could follow. By now I am getting a bit of a grasp on the parts. It feels like a really complicated way to render forms on a browser. But as that is something I've always found more painful that it should be, a bit more pain to find a better solution might be worth the trouble.

So Angular seed came to the rescue. I think in fact this is what Nick was using a few weeks back at the global hackathon.

So after a bit more fun of installing npm a few different ways and something called bower which seems to be package manager for angular.js.

But the best bit is that all this stuff actually did work. And I moved the app into my tree of code and that works under npm there too. So, I think I am 80% of the way to finishing my kindling.
