Gaurav:

I had someone ask about that earlier and think it's an interesting idea. Makes a lot of sense especially on mobile devices where memory may be more of an issue. Having said that, I'm not exactly sure how well it would work even if a script is removed. Something to look into though.

What about unloading js dynamically?

I think loading more and more js in SPA cause more memory usage for browser, it would be better to unload those views and controller if not required in current view.

What do you think?

Yep - AngularJS should definitely reduce the workload of the server because aside from the initial page it'll simply serve up JSON data and HTML templates. It of course depends on your application, how many Ajax calls are made, etc. though. But in general I'm comfortable saying that the web server's workload should be minimized in many situations since a lot of the burden is pushed to the client.

Kevin,

Thanks! As far as your question, you definitely don't need this unless you have a lot of controllers. Even in the sample application it's overkill because there are only a handful of controllers. Plus, you could argue that controllers could be bundled, minified, etc. and all downloaded upfront.

But, there are some situations where they may need to be dynamically loaded especially when there are a lot of them in a given application. I'd recommend loading them upfront if you don't think there's any performance issues with doing that (keeping mobile in mind too). Plus, I like the simplified route syntax....better for maintenance. :-)

I have watched your video tutorial on AngularJS fundamentals.

My question is: Because AngularJS is a client-side framework, will it reduce the workload on the server, in comparison with ASP.NET MVC or Yii-framework?
