Building a Spreadsheet in 20 Minutes with Angular.js

Often, Hacker News saddens me.

This article provides some good insights on the Angular framework and a nice way to follow the code iteratively and understand the thought process. It gives a refreshing angle (no pun indented) to introduce the framework.

Why does this article only has 22 points when I see some articles like "How to get user feedback by giving away free coffee at Starbucks" or "What really happened at Company X while they farted some money" getting x10 points.

Oh well...

I've read many times that dependency injection was at the core of angularjs, but after having read the source, the part that stroke me really was the embedded parser. It seems obvious since it also provides template functionnalities, but since it's two way data binding, it's really more than an improved search/replace function.

I had a great time building this -- Angular ended up being perfect here.

I'd be curious what an Ember version would look like -- anyone have any insight?

You should add a <title> to your page. I bookmarked it and had to copy/paste from content to title.

This looks very good and is an informational article. Thanks for posting it!
