RequireJS + AngularJS + A different spin

I keep on meaning to post this tutorial here -- it's been on github for a while and I somehow didn't manage to add it here...
Anyways, this was part of a discovery mission for using RequireJS and Angular to build a simple app. Angular because I like it as an MVC framework for Javascript and RequireJS because, really, who wants to maintain script tag spam in your SPA? Not me, not after I had a page with 20 inclusions and realised it was indicative of something horribly wrong.
The method I chose also makes this code easier (for me) to test: Angular has some great mocking and testing functionality, but in the face of Karma+Jasmine, it just seems like far too much effort to figure out another mocking framework -- not to mention that I find the concept of having to $apply to get Angular to run its magic a little counter-intuitive and a little out-of-place in a test (imo).
So I flipped this a little on it's head: the controller module in this project doesn't actually register a controller -- it returns the configuration which can be used to register a controller -- which is consumed by app.js so that routing can work with the configured controller. This frees me up to test the controller in a simpler way: test that the array has the correct dependencies, in the correct order (typically, just '$scope') and then test that the scope passed in is modified in the expected way (properties and methods added and the methods work as expected). I must point out the obvious here: that I'm not inclined to use Angular factories and services -- but who needs them if you have RequireJS and go the prototypical route?
But enough blah-blah. If nothing else, this tutorial can demonstrate one way to do it. I've also made JQuery private so that the only library in the global scope is Angular -- and this was mainly so that angular-route would load up correctly. There's probably a better way do to this too (I've read about AngularAMD and some others; just haven't play-tested them), but I was satisfied enough with the final result -- and it might prove at least a little interesting for some (:

Update to promises tutorial

For anyone who is interested, my promises tutorial has been updated to include info and examples about the native ES6 Promise prototype. You can get some goodness here: http://davydm.blogspot.com/2014/10/javascript-and-promises.html

Javascript and promises

I wrote a little tutorial a small while back on using promises within Javascript as this seems to be a point of confusion for some, especially those new to promises. The tutorial is not meant to be ultimately comprehensive, but hopefully it should at least be useful -- and it made me polish up a promises library of my own for learning and display purposes. You can get all the code here: https://github.com/fluffynuts/js-promises-tutorial and indeed that repository is what I'm using for the iframe source below, using RawGit. Mainly because it relies on a bunch of Javascript and JSON files to work but also because I'm way too lazy to maintain multiple versions of this and this tutorial may be revisited for a little spit 'n polish on occasion. (EDIT: this entry was updated to include example usage of the ES6 native Promise prototype).
