Get Started with Angular 2

Angular 2 is the great new framework that will provide us a great deal of flexibility and power when building our apps.

Goals

• Build an Angular 2 app
• Create an Angular 2 starter kit: GitHub and Plunker
• Understand what goes into setting up Angular 2

Setup

The environment setup is the biggest reason developers have not gotten into Angular 2. We're going to clarify the setup and talk about why it's necessary.

• Setup our base project
• Setup TypeScript: To transpile ES6 code to ES5 and give us extra convenient features
• Setup System.js: To load packages in our browsers
