Great question.

It's been a few months, but I remember being confused by "compile" vs "link". I had a hell of a time figuring out which one I needed to use. I also was confused by the passing in of parameters, with weird syntax like "@", and "=" prepending the parameters.

One thing that I tried doing, that I figured would be common, was to access a model specified by ng-model, and to access the controller's scope. But even that was really confusing.
