– Working through an example of Angular UI for modal windows
– How the Angular UI modal examples ties back to the example code
– Including Angular UI model code back in our app to create an Update Customer Modal

In this video we continue styling the Create Customer Page and look at some Angular functionality. We also create our first Customer Record.
