## What it is
The official AngularJS Phone Catalog tutorial application, a step-by-step guide to building a web app with AngularJS, where each git tag is a lesson. It is based on the retired Google Phone Gallery and pairs with the AngularJS developer tutorial docs.

## Use cases
- learn AngularJS from scratch with a hands-on tutorial
- step through git commits to see how an AngularJS app is built incrementally
- see examples of AngularJS components, controllers, templates, and filters
- learn to write unit tests with Karma and end-to-end tests for an AngularJS app
- study best practices for organizing an AngularJS project's files and modules

## When to choose
- you are maintaining or learning a legacy AngularJS 1.x codebase
- you want the official guided tutorial for AngularJS fundamentals
- you want a small reference app demonstrating AngularJS testing and structure

## When to avoid
- you are starting a new project - AngularJS is end-of-life and unsupported
- you want to learn modern Angular (2+) rather than AngularJS 1.x
- you need a production-ready application or starter template
