Angular is outdated

I see in this video that the teacher is using a global controller. With angular 1.3+ you can no longer use global controller declaration on the global scope (Without explicit registration), according to my research.

I started working in my own Sublime Text, and could not get the controller to work. Then I did some Googling and found this out.

I am looking forward to the coming AngularJS course!

Hello! Unfortunately that happens when creating tutorials for programming. It just changes so fast!

Treehouse is working on a new angular course that is scheduled to come out in November(Date subject to change).

You can check out what else treehouse is working on at their course roadmap

I'm looking forward to the new course as well :)

What exactly do you mean by 'you can no longer use global controller declaration on the global scope'?

It would be helpful to point out what specific code breaks, and what the updated pattern is for other people who might be running into the same problem.

You cannot use the global controller any longer that he codes in the video in the global scope. So the rest of the video after the point sort of becomes null (no pun intended). It doesn't seem like you can do much beyond the early parts of the video.
