Angular JS 1.5.X shows errors with controller

Question

I am writing a simple controller example with angular.js version 1.5.X which has some issues worth noting. The problem is only encountered with Angular JS version 1.5.X but I have tested the code with Angular JS V 1.2.X which works as expected. I am not sure if I am doing something in an outdated fashion ? I am unable to understand the console logs.

My Code-

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en" ng-app="">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <title>Angular Demo</title>
  <script src="lib/angular/angular.min.1.5.X.js"></script>
</head>
<body>

<div ng-controller = "MyController">
  <h1>{{author.name}}</h1>
  <p>{{ author.title + ', ' + author.company }}</p>
</div>

<script>
function MyController($scope) {
  $scope.author = {
    'name' : 'Ray Villalobos',
    'title' : 'Staff Author',
    'company' : 'Lynda.com'
  }
}
</script>
</body>
</html>

Result:

Console Log:

angular.min.1.5.X.js:118 Error: [ng:areq] http://errors.angularjs.org/1.5.8/ng/areq?p0=MyController&p1=not%20a%20function%2C%20got%20undefined

Core issue was explained in marked duplicate answer, other part of the issue is you have to host your application on server so that file will get access over `http` protocol. Currently they seems to be talking about `file` protocol — Pankaj Parkar, Sep 03 '16 at 18:49

With Angular above 1.3 you need to defined controller like this,

 app.controller("MyController" , function($scope)
   {
       $scope.author = {
      'name' : 'Ray Villalobos',
      'title' : 'Staff Author',
      'company' : 'Lynda.com'
      }
   });
