<div select-template="item.id as item.name for item in items"></div>

->

angular.module('demo', [])

But this does not work!

Error: [ngOptions:iexp] Expected expression in form of '_select_ (as _label_)? for (_key_,)?_value_ in _collection_' but got 'options'. Element: <select class="form-control ng-pristine ng-valid" ng-model="model" ng-options="options"> http://errors.angularjs.org/1.2.0-rc.2/ngOptions/iexp?p0=options&p1=%3Cselectlass%3D%form-control%20ng-pristine%20ng-valid%22%20ng-model%3D%22model%22%20ng-options%3D%options%22%3E

This is because Angular already expects the string in the correct format, and not a variable in scope that evaluates to the string

• Allows you to extend functionality of templates 
• Also applies for templateUrl
• Available since 1.1.4
• http://docs.angularjs.org/guide/directive
  

• Params matching in routes

• Offers `finally` callback chaining
• Observe fulfillment of promise w/o changing final value
• Note:  Must use promise['finally'](callback) due to IE8
• 'finally' is a reserved word in JavaScript
• Offers `catch` callback chaining for error handling
• Adds $q.notify for updates on promise's status
• One step closer to $http file uploads with progress updating
• https://github.com/angular/angular.js/pull/2725
  

• $q.notify
• http://plnkr.co/edit/62zH8CH5uPYX1cYfyKJE
  
• finally & catch
• http://plnkr.co/edit/nG6PhdG8BTQhKFSl4oB1
  

• Interceptors - $http.interceptors
• Allows intercepting requests

• Accessing the $http promise directly
• Ex. $resource(...).get(...).$promise.success(function (data) { ... })
• $resource(...).get(...).$promise is the $http promise

• ng-keydown/ng-keyup/ng-keypress
• ng-focus/ng-blur
• All these directives (+ ng-submit) allow you to access `$event`

• ng-if works similarly to ng-show
• Does not render content in DOM if condition is false
• Importance:
• CSS
• Avoid creation of $watch from directives like ng-repeat
• Creates new $scope

• Support for multielement repeaters
• `track by` syntax
• For keeping order of elements when array changes

• Note: This actually was in 1.0.0 (and maybe beforehand)
• Still relatively obscure & awesome feature!

• Lets you monkeypatch services and directives
• Dangerous!
• Useful for overriding some defaults in plugins
• http://www.angular-tips.com/blog/2013/09/experiment-decorating-directives/

• http://plnkr.co/edit/rHArxjBXY0uNl3qMVRrF?p=preview
  

• Useful for forcing any factory, service, directive, etc. to have a provider
• Allows you to reuse components that may not function exactly how you want
• http://stackoverflow.com/a/16084888/1771358
  
• Use cases include
• Caching an expensive request
• Debugging/Testing
• Throttling calls via debounce function (like _.debounce)
• Overriding template locations

• New service for explicitly whitelisting trusted content for bindings

• You can do `ng-controller="MainCtrl as Product"
• function MainCtrl () {

• Allows you to be more semantic
• Allows you to namespace multiple instances of the same controller for organization in the DOM
• Allows you to avoid polluting $scope with methods that are specific to the controller
• These methods do not get inherited by child controllers!

• $route has been split off into 'ngRoute' module in 'angular-route.js' script

• `ng-bind-html-unsafe` is removed
• Use `ng-bind-html`
• Use $sce.trustAsHtml function to whitelist

• ng-repeat
• Arrays will often need `track by $index` if you have items of equal value
