@ShadowWizard looks like this (gonna change). Takes the data model I built behind the scenes and will shove X data into some math equation, parse into a JSON, then back to the server.

Shadow Wizard

@SterlingArcher yeah sounds ultra complicated... :(

Sterling Archer

It's fun though, because JavaScript <3

UNIKITTY 2.0

lol

But I am javascript-overflow now

Can't C#

Shadow Wizard

@SterlingArcher but Angular got its own syntax, which sometimes can be irritating :/

Sometimes I hack my way with ordinary jQuery or JS, but it feels... dirty.

Sterling Archer

I mean, its a framework so it has it's own doohickeys, but the base logic is JS. Variable names, arrays, objects, etc, they're all JS

Shadow Wizard

@SterlingArcher of course, after all it's Angular-JS ;)

Sterling Archer

Damn straight

But I will admit the directive/factory/module part is super complex to me

Especially directive links, and isolate scopes
