title: How to run AngularJS on a web Server which invokes SQL Server Database Calls
body: <p>I'm building my first <code>Angular</code> application with .NET.</p>
  
  <p>I use <code>VS 2012</code> and <code>C#</code> and <code>SQL Server 2012</code>.</p>
  
  <p>I'm really excited about this but, despite the almost daunting amount of tutorials and docs available, I can't find a clear explanation of how to retrieve the data from SQL server and display it in my app.</p>
  
  <p>I have been playing around a bit with <a href="https://github.com/DanWahlin/CustomerManagerStandard" rel="nofollow">Dan Wahlin's Customer Manager app</a>, but this is built with <code>Entity Framework</code> and <code>BreezeJS</code>, which are both new to me.</p>
  
  <p>I have also tried to follow <a href="http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/567376/ConnectingplustoplusDatabaseplusUsingplusAngularJS" rel="nofollow">this Code Project</a> which builds communication with the server via a standard web service and what looks like an <code>ajax</code> call to retrieve some <code>json</code>.</p>
  
  <p>However there is no server side code to deserialize the SQL into Json (which I assume is necessary).</p>
  
  <p>This is what I would like:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>an example of how to connect my Angular app to SQL Server DB.</li>
  <li>the example should mention the steps involved to achieve that.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I don't expect a comprehensive list of <em>all</em> the possible ways of doing this and I'm not asking you to do it for me.</p>
  
  <p>I'm just hoping for a way good enough to get me started.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you very much.</p>
