Angular 2 Development with TypeScript

DESCRIPTION Angular 2 is a JavaScript-based development platform for building dynamic, interactive web applications, SPAs, and mobile apps. Angular applications can be built with JavaScript or TypeScript. TypeScript offers great IDE support and the TypeScript compiler helps coders quickly find and fix errors. TypeScript feels familiar, much like using ES6 with the same standard and third-party libraries, idioms, and tools. TypeScript supports classes, modules, annotations, and lazy loading and minimizes the amount of code for supporting the frameworks life cycle, letting developers focus on writing the application code. Angular 2 Development with Typescript teaches the reader Angular 2, while it also teaches TypeScript and how to take advantage of its benefits.
