What is AngularJS?
AngularJS is an opensource javascript library built and maintained by google that helps us develop the front end (HTML/javascript/css) part of a web application in a declarative way. As a developer I myself see AngularJS as a higher level programming language for the client side.
The UI built using the angular framework applies MVC architecture at the client side. What I mean by that is if you build say the google search page using AngularJS, then you will have a mvc application running in the client's browser that posts back to a webserver which itself may or may not implement mvc.
A simple example
I will show you a simple AngularJS app that says hello world
Paste this into notepad and save the file as .html. Then open that file in chrome
Things to note:
1>Inside the html tag notice the attribute ng-app. This declares the html tag as the root element of the application.
2>In the div has tag the attribute ng-controller tells the angular framework that this tag is associated with the controller TestCtrl (defined inside a script tag below)
3>The text {{message}}inside double curly braces is a property on the $scope object (defined below).
4>I am using google content delivery network to get the angular.min.js javascript file.
5>The function TestCtrl accepts a parameter $scope. This is a special parameter used by angular to pass data between controller and the view. You can set properties on this parameter which can be read in the view (HTML markup).

<script type="text/javascript">
function TestCtrl($scope) {
$scope.message= "Hello World";
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
