Linkdump for August 4th
¶ by Rob Friesel-
Outstanding post by Jason Dobry about using AngularJS to do non-trivial UIs and about some of the latent challenges that you'll encounter when doing so. He's got quite a few interesting things to say, in particular about the common misperception that
$scopeis the model, some points about how to organize your files, and about integrating Angular with other libraries. It's one of the best posts I've encountered on Angular so far, and he does an excellent job explaining some of the more ambiguous things.Also: the accompanying slide deck is pretty good, too.

Long-ish expository post in the ng-newsletter about creating and working with Angular directives. Directives are a really powerful part of Angular but can be a bit daunting to newcomers ("Scopes? Restrictions? Linking functions!?") but do yourself a favor: have the patience to learn the fundamentals of directives. That will pay dividends.

Matt Zoller Seitz, writing at Vulture.com about a head-to-head competition of the two greatest (!?) shows of the early 21st century. I am speaking (of course) about The Wire vs. The Sopranos. And of course, The Wire wins.
Also: to answer his question ("What are yours [favorite seasons]?") it goes: – The Wire: 4, 1, 3, 2, 5 – The Sopranos: 1, 2, 3 … could not finish
