Test-Driving JavaScript Applications

Spike to Learn Angular

Your end goal is to learn about test-driving Angular applications so you can reap the benefits of automated verification on Angular projects. You will use the TO-DO app as a vehicle to learn that, but first you need to get comfortable with writing Angular code.
