Angular JS and Django

Question

This might be a silly question that might relate to my ignorance about angular js, but is it possible to use a Django framework mostly for backend and database interactions, in conjunction with an Angular JS app/website?

I know angular js still requires Node Js for serving the data so, it seems like that would be a conflict. There was a similar but slightly more technical and specific from what I was looking for here: Django, REST and Angular Routes

What alternatives do I have if I want to experiment with Angular JS but need some database functionality?

Also how do you go about the fact that your code will be open to everyone?

Not a dumb question. But yes, it is totally doable. I put together a git seed for an angular web app with a django rest framework api. Check it out, I think it is exactly what you are looking for. Clone it down and try it out! Easy instructions to follow.
