What is Angular Attack?
Angular Attack tournaments around the world consist of teams of 1-4 people who have 48 hours to develop an application from scratch that are then judged in five categories:
- Judges Favorite
- Hacker Favorite
- Innovation
- Design
- Popularity
The winners of the first four categories are selected by a jury of experts, including representatives from Google, eBay, Frontend Masters and Telerik. Among the categories, the Judges Favorite is considered the highest honor. And the Popularity category is selected by public vote.
