-And so we arrive at the last step of this tutorial. Here we define a custom service that
-represents a {@link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representational_State_Transfer RESTful} client.
-Using this client we can make xhr requests for data in an easier way, without having to deal with
-the lower-level {@link angular.service.$xhr $xhr} APIs, HTTP methods and URLs.

-## Discussion:
-
-* We simplified our sub-controllers (`PhoneListCtrl` and `PhoneDetailCtrl`) by factoring out the
-lower-level `$xhr` service, replacing it with a new service called `Phone`. Angular's {@link
-angular.service.$resource `$resource`} service is easier to use than `$xhr` for interacting with
-data sources exposed as RESTful resources. It is also easier now to understand what the code in
-our controllers is doing.
-
- An important thing to notice in our controller code is that we don't pass any callback
- functions when invoking methods of our Phone services. It looks as if the result were returned
- synchronously. That is not the case at all. What is returned synchronously is a "future" — an
- object, which will be filled with data when the xhr response returns. Because of the
- data-binding in angular, we can use this future and bind it to our template. Then, when the
- data arrives, the view will automatically update. See? Angular tries hard to make simple
- stuff simple.
-
-* Once again we make use of `$route's` params, this time to construct the URL passed as a
-parameter to `$resource` in our `services.js` script.
-
-* Last, but certainly not least, we expanded and modified our unit test to verify that our new
-service is returning data as we expect it to.
-
- In our assertions we use a newly-defined `toEqualData` {@link
- http://pivotal.github.com/jasmine/jsdoc/symbols/jasmine.Matchers.html Jasmine matcher}, which
- compares only object properties and ignores methods. This is necessary, because the `$resource`
- client will augment the response object with handy methods for updating and deleting the
- resource (we don't use these in our tutorial though).
-
-There you have it! We have created a web app in a relatively short amount of time.
-
-## Closing Notes:
-
-* For more details and examples of the angular concepts we touched on in this tutorial, see the
-{@link guide Developer Guide}.
-
-* For several more examples of sample code, see the {@link cookbook Cookbook}.
-
-* When you are ready to start developing a project using angular, be sure to begin with the {@link
-https://github.com/angular/angular-seed angular seed app}.
-
-* We hope this tutorial was useful to you, and that you learned enough about angular to make you
-want to learn more. Of course, we especially hope you are inspired to go out and develop angular
-web apps of your own, and perhaps you might even be interested in {@link contribute contributing}
-to angular.
