This document discusses the differences between conventional web development and single-page application (SPA) development using AngularJS. In conventional web development, each user interaction requires a full page reload and server processing. This results in poor response times and performance issues. AngularJS helps create SPAs where the client-side handles routing and rendering dynamically without full page reloads. This improves responsiveness and reduces server loads. The document explains benefits of the SPA approach like client-side routing, rendering and supporting multiple platforms. It also outlines why AngularJS is well-suited for SPA development with features like directives, filters and testability.
