This document discusses some advantages and disadvantages of AngularJS. It highlights that AngularJS has many plugins, an established community since 2006, and a high chance that cached versions are already available. However, it questions whether all the functionality has ever been used. It then provides examples of expressions, repeating content with ng-repeat, filtering with filter, and using jqLite for basic jQuery support. Finally, it outlines additional capabilities with AngularJS like routing, templating, dependency injection, event handlers, and accessing XHR/REST services with $http and $resource.

6. Expressions
{{ do something }}
Can be used for:
• Calculations {{ 1 + 2 }}
• Accessing models
• Filtering {{ 1 + 2 == 3}}
… and much more!
{{ 3 > 4 }}
Hi {{ name }}!

7. Repeating content
ng-repeat
Usage: repeat stuff
automatically in a very
HTML-like way

8. Filtering content
filter: {{ expression }}

9. jqLite
For basic jQuery support
But: Let Angular do the DOM-magic
and concentrate on working with your
models.
If you need to use jQuery avoid using $.
