AngularJS Tutorial Quora Question

AngularJS Tutorial Quora Question.md

I'm an expert JS/ReactJS dev learning AngularJS to work on legacy code. What (or where) is a succinct rundown of high- and mid-level concepts I need to know?

I've been trying to watch a YouTube series called Angularjs Tutorial - Complete (Fundamentals to Advanced.

This series is probably great for people who know nothing about JavaScript frameworks, but it is far too slow/thorough for me. For example, AngularJS: Understanding Scope Inheritance is a half hour video that could have been a single sentence: The $scope of a nested controller inherits the properties of its parent's $scope.

It's possible that later videos in the playlist will cover more advanced topics with the assumption that you know what you're doing in JavaScript, but I suspect they will also assume you've watched the previous videos and know what you're doing in AngularJS.

I need a list of (or the link to a tutorial that covers):

• terminology (my boss gave me a list of concepts I need to know)
  • directives
  • controllers
  • scope / rootScope
  • emit and broadcast
  • compile and link
  • watchers
• ng-* attributes I need to know and how to use them
• syntax where it differs from plain JS
• any parallels to ReactJS and differences that exist in those parallels
• two-way binding (I've never written any MVC)
  • rudimentary how-to/patterns
    • in particular, how (using the React vernacular) components push data back to the state
  • what is and isn't allowed, e.g.
    • can I directly change values in $scope from within components, or do I need to trigger the redux-equivalent of an action?
    • suppose $scope.obj = { foo: { bar: 1 } } and I set $scope.obj.foo.bar = 2; will that be reflected automatically in the UI, or do I need to deep clone obj with the updated value?
    • under the covers, is $scope a JavaScript Proxy?
• shortcut syntax advanced AngularJS devs use (it's apparently used in our codebase)

My boss said I don't need to know about routers.

Thanks!
