title: Get month from date string?
body: <p>I know that I can get the month from a date object using:</p>
  
  <pre><code>var d = new Date();
  var n = d.getMonth();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But in my code I have a <code>$scope.start</code> property that seems to not be a date object. It is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>2016-02-17T14:39:00Z
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How can I extract the month from <code>$scope.start</code>?</p>
