Since I'm heading to Google DevFest next week I thought it would be a good idea to at least get some working knowledge of AngularJS.  AngularJS has a number of dependencies so I created a clean copy of Ubuntu 13.04 server to install it.
Now it seems that the default NodeJS that is packaged with the distro wasn't sufficient to install some of the node packages so it was off to NodeJS to download a binary tar copy of it.

Tried a few  AngularJS samples from GIT before settling on instructions on

https://github.com/yeoman/generator-angular

The instructions were sufficient to get the skeleton working.

Looking forward to doing more than Hello Worlds.
