There are many bad code-samples showing you how to use AngularJS - and following these will make work with AngularJS confusing and difficult. A typical mistake is to use $scope in your code - something that was a good idea 3 years ago but not any more. Let me tell you more...
We all start with other peoples samples...
I started coding AngularJS based on samples out in the internet - and most people start this way. It's a very difficult way, because almost all samples are so trivial that they don't cover normal use cases - and building an application on that leads to chaos. I basically had to re-learn AngularJS a few times - but then found out that "It would be very simple, if you start the right way".
So at DNN-Connect in Millau I'll teach you how to build simple and complex AngularJS Apps - and why it's very easy to do - even for beginners - if you follow best practices.
Common mistakes I'll help you avoid are
- Creating complex code for simple solutions
- Using $scope in your code or even worse $apply
- Building very simple, or very complex folder structures
- Using the DNN ServiceFramework from within your Controllers (yes, you should really not do that)
- Using the DNN ServiceFramework from within your Services (yes, this too is not really a good idea)
- Not leveraging Dependency-Injection
- Assuming that you have a SPA (single page application) when DNN actually allows many modules on a page
- ...and much more
