ASP.NET += Angular

Yet Another Podcast #119– ASP.NET & Angular | Jesse Liberty:
Apparently Microsoft ASP.NET team is committed to include first class support for AngularJS in Visual Studio and ("One") ASP.NET
By Google or not, that is what developers want.

It will likely be optionally combined with TypeScript also,
and will have "higher-level" design features. Nice.

After jQuery, Bootstrap, and then node.js and even Git,
Microsoft is embracing (and extending :) most popular open source web projects.
Even Hadoop is supported on Azure...

With this, AngularJS may achieve its stated goal to be included in HTML itself.
For last a few months AngularJS class is #1 on Pluralsight.
