Lets start developing AngularJS apps in Visual Studio

Learning AngularJS for .NET Developers

Learning AngularJS for .NET Developers

So I had no intention to use Angular anywhere else at this time, but 2 new web app requests tipped my hand into “lets do this and do it Angular .net” since the underlying tech is in fact a windows program. Therefore, I went back to the book store and am reading Learning AngularJS for .NET Developers. Every sentance is important in this book so this is not a skimmer but he gets right to development, re-development etc. etc. until he has what I consider now to be the starting point of all my projects. i will use this model as my Angular Seed (a starting point for Angular Apps). I think I will need the tips below EVERY TIME I develop an app so I will write my steps down for you. I developed all the items I had with VS 2013 Express and am to the point where I think I will be buying VS 2013 Pro as the tools a few books suggest all require pro or above. It is $500CDN.

I like the book – I read another one that was SUPER in depth. This is a SUPER book but read slowly because he packs all the concepts learned into one sentence so it is a GREAT terse resource. Using it in Kindle allows me to click his links really quick but I cannot write all over it is the downfall.

  • Get VS 2013 Express
  • install git
  • Using NuGet
    • Nuget Package Manager for VS 2013
    • install AngularJS.Core
    • Git Tools
    • Angular UI Bootstrap
    • Angular Seed (see – now it works – play and you will see something)
  •  Using Tools -> Extensions -> Extensions Manager download the following
    • Web Essentials 2013 for Update 4
  • A hand installed extension is available (NOT VS EXPRESS) at
  • Chrome resizer for Bootstrap extension – inside Chrome

Specific to this project – a file uploader
