No Excuses! Local Dev Environment with AngularJS and Deployd

We know, you've played with some of the demos, maybe even the ToDo app, but now you're stuck between those non-data demos and working with actual APIs. Deployd to the rescue! Deployd is a self-contained dev environment using Node.js, MongoDB and even includes a web interface for simple data editing and serving up the data as a RESTful service. Deployed takes care of being the back-end and lets you focus on the fun stuff...like AngularJS!

We'll also be setting up a simple CRUD app in your local environment so that you can finally see how real apps actually fit together. We'll go over the basics of app organization, module setup and using $resource.

The goal here is that everybody leaves with a self-contained, full CRUD Angular app using data services. Bring your laptop (Deployd is cross-platform).

I'd also like to introduce Rakuten Loyalty as our new sponsor for both location and food/beverages! They're located at Two South Station (even thought their mailing address says One South Station).
