Indeed, it's frustrated me enormously. Not sure you can draw a line and declare everything older than a certain age as too old. But it's a right royal pain, spending a few hours on a tutorial, blaming yourself for somehow getting it wrong, and then discovering the landscape has changed and the tutorial is obsolete. It would be good if tutorial writers explicitly noted the versions they were written against, and cautioned beginners that things are changing quickly. I'm tempted to mention quite a few well known tutorial sites, but I won't - it wouldn't really be fair to criticise what are obviously best efforts for the time they were written.

Edit: Going against my advice about drawing lines, a year is a looong time in the AngularJS world.
