I was able to successfully get the data for this assignment into my html file by modifying the code from the contact list app we did in class. However, I can't figure out how to query the specific types (ie: edu, skill, project). I have the data in tables and only the data I need comes in, but only because each item has different keys. The table is filled with blanks for the data where there is no such key. For example the Skills table has 3 blank rows where the education data would be and then the three skills from the database then two blank rows where project data would be. The other data is blank because it doesn't have a key called skills. In which file do I query the data by type? In the html file? In the controller? What is the code process for doing so as the database was not queried in the contact list app to my knowledge. Thanks for any help.

Use different variables in your $scope for the different queries, and in your directives. For instance, if you put into your $scope 'entry' in your controller and use it in all three of your loops, you will get extra rows. 

In your edu table, use something like <tr ng-repeat="school in schools">, and put "schools" in your scope in the controller. Then use <tr ng-repeat="skill in skills">, for your skills, and so on. Avoid namespace pollution that you get when you use the same variables over and over.
