alright, i am confused , i cant figure out why major new sites are using angular js ..

its just frontend, so they gotta have something in backend to handle database queryes.

so why use angular js + php

instead of jquery + php

whats so special about angular js ?


are those sites who loads up quick and then fetches values from database, are those the ones using angular js ?
i have seen simmilar sites., who loads layout quick and then after couple of milli seconds data gets filled, which gets pulled from db.

is it popular becuase angular js is from google. ?

or am i missing something and angular js doesnt need anything server side like php to handle db queries. ?

thanks for your time.

edit:

looks like angular js is used . lets say i have 4 pages open on a site.,
each page has some value which gets changed on the fly after i i get notification.,
so without refreshing the pages all values gets upadated on all pages.,
is this angular js ?
