Show HN: Finally understand the AngularJS docs

by gordonzhu on 12/10/14, 1:02 AM with 1 comments

The big goal here is to create AngularJS docs that are really easy to use and understand.

I decided to start this project after a bunch of conversations with my students from www.angularcourse.com. Many of them are putting a lot of effort into reading the docs, but are finding it extremely difficult to understand what's going on.

The big problem is that the docs assume a lot of pre-existing knowledge. If you know your way around, the docs are reasonable (still not easy), but if you're still new, it's a huge struggle.

Would love to get feedback from you all on if this is a problem that you're facing too.
