using angular $http service

So im trying to access a json file in angular using the $http service but struggling to set it up as im new to angular and still don't really understand it well. Now, I am able to hack together some code and using ng-repeat to set up some basic functionality. ALso, I tried going through the angular tutorial here but it doesn't seem to make much sense. Can anyone give me a reference or a way to set up a way to return a json file so that it can be used for ng-repeat. Im trying something like:

var oflApp = angular.module('oflApp', []);

oflApp.controller('oflClassCtrl', function ($scope, $http) {

  $scope.classes = $http.get('../courses/coursedata.json')

   <label>Filter:</label>
      <input type="text" ng-model="searchTxt" placeholder="Enter a class here">
      <hr></div>
      </div>

<!--      <h1>Test {{searchTxt}}!</h1>-->
    </div>
 <table ng-controller="oflClassCtrl">
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th>Course Title(Apex/Isis)</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <tr ng-repeat = "selectedClass in classes | filter:searchTxt">
        <td><a href="#" data-reveal-id="myModal" ng-click="setClass($index)">{{selectedClass.class}}</a></td>

    </tr>

its giving me: XHR finished loading: GET "http://localhost/courses/coursedata.json". angular.js:11592 SyntaxError: Unexpected token {
