I have been using Angular 2 for 3 months now and so far have loved it (except for the breaking changes in RC series and updating each time). Glad 2.0.0 is here. Here are the few things I loved, amongst other interesting features: 1. Typescript awesomeness: You can write plain JS or give type hints in Typescript. Typescript is awesome, because it is a superset of Javascript and compiles to Javascript. (Typescript > ES6 > ES5) 2. Modular code: It is is much easier to manage Angular code as it grows (compared to AngularJS). Components could be made independently and reused within other components using component interaction [1] (@Input, @Output) 3. Template Directives: .html template directives are available unlike ReactJS. A ReactJS vs Angular2 blog post online [1] argued that that putting HTML in Javascript is better than putting Javascri

pt in HTML. I'd argue that template directives like ngFor, ngIf, etc are much simpler to understand. Also, it is easier to collaborate with a designer/half-developer who knows some html/scss and doesn't know Javascript than working in ReactJS where every collaborator has to know JS. This way, it is also easier for someone to gradually learn the framework. For me, template directives are a big win. If someone wants to construct templates with plain JS, that is still possible in Angular. 4. @angular/router is better than AngularJS routing and we don't have to use a 3rd party library (like ui-router was more popular in AngularJS than the angularjs router) One thing that I have found annoying is that: UI libraries for Angular. Example: material2 (currently at alpha.8) [3] are not complete yet and lack several useful components. This can be a problem if you are looking to quickly build a complete, good looking UI. Hopefully, now with Angular 2.0.0 out; Angular team could focus on quicker development of material2, so we have all the AngularJS Material UI goodness with Angular.

In Angular 2 Final Released

pramttl·Aug 26, 2016

Since we are yet to see the first Angular2 release (almost there, but not yet); most Angular2 third-party resources may not provide the most up to date information, so the best place to learn Angular right now is really the official Angular documentation i.e. https://angular.io/ , because it is updated quite often. 1. If you are looking for a book to learn in a sequential way then ng-book is a good option. ng-book is updated regularly however it is not free. https://www.ng-book.com/2/#features 2. New blog posts are also a great way to learn about certain Angular topics. Examples: 2(a): http://blog.thoughtram.io/categories/angular-2/ 2(b): http://angularjs.blogspot.com/ (Has both Angular 1.x and 2.x articles, written by Angular core developers) 3. Learning by observing: 3(a): material2 is a library, being developed by the Angular team itse
