Integrating Angular.js with Node.js (Express+Tower.js)

I am new to node. I very much like approach of AngularJS. I like what I see in towerjs.

Has Anyone wired the two together? I have in mind tower primarily for backend api/rest and angular for clientside.

I'm especially not familiar with tower.js, but from the docs it looks like it might not be practical to use the two together. There is quite a bit of overlap in the things AngularJS provides and the things tower.js provides (especially models, views, and controllers on the client).

I've written on how to use AngularJS with a RESTful API provided by Express on my blog. Maybe that can help you get started.

Good luck! :)
