2nd paragraph

it is a JavaScript objects, not JSON objects.

the book says

introduced an array of JSON objects in our MainCtrl

JSON is just a notation, by using string to represent an object.

The code is using, simply, an array of JavaScript objects. It has nothing that related to JSON: using string representation to denote a JavaScript object.

Last paragraph

Since 1.4.0-beta.1 trepidatious-salamander (2015-01-20) ng-repeat doesn't sort by alphabetic order of keys anymore, but instead uses the order of the objects it iterates over.

ng-true-value="YES" and ng-false-value="NO"

there are missing single quote marks ' inside the dubble quote marks. It should read,

ng-true-value=" ' YES ' " and ng-false-value=" ' NO ' ".

1st paragraph

Whereas the code listing detailing the use of radio buttons with a local scope 'ng-init' directive is correct, nowhere is it pointed out that you need at least one controller in the page to get it to work...even if that controller is empty (as it is not needed in this example as a model based in 'ng-init' is used instead).

<script>
angular.module('radioExample', [])
.controller('ExampleController', [function() {
}]);
</script>

Obviously you need an ' ng-app="radioExample" ' directive in your HTML somewhere. For instance on the <HTML> tag.

2-documents in the example code for Chapter 4 "Forms, inputs, and Services" have mislabeled document names.

1st set of list items

`verifyNoOutstandingExpectations()` and `verifyNoOutstandingRequests()` are both non-existing functions. They should be singular as - `verifyNoOutstandingExpectation()` and `verifyNoOutstandingRequest()`

The sentence

"... The predicate expression can also be passed a function, ..."

should be

"... The predicate expression can also be passed by a function, ..."

1st Paragraph after code block

The first paragraph after the code demo for ng-switch states that there are five buttons to appear, but only four are defined in the code.

The code also doesn't behave as described in the book. As we're missing a fifth button, which I assume was meant to include the random element, however it's not present in the code. So there is no random element. And there's no code for this random-ness to occur.

There is a default case button, but nothing to set a random value.

stockData variable in the directive’s scope as well.

1st paragraph, second sentence, last word

Book: AngularJS Up and Running
Published: September 2014 First Edition, Second Release on 2015-04-02.
Chapter 11: Directives
Page: 202

The last word ("heirarchy") in the second sentence of the first paragraph is misspelled. The word should be "hierarchy".

The sentence with the misspelling reads:

"This is because the moment we isolate the scope, the directive can no longer access anything from its parent scope because it is removed from the traditional scope heirarchy."
