Jeremy Wilken explores Angular 2 by digging into an example stock-tracking app built with TypeScript and ES6+. The future of Angular is built around the concept of components. Angular 2 is written with TypeScript and ES6+, and developers can take advantage of the same benefits in their applications. TypeScript provides more robust typing for variables and additional syntax and code-error linting, as well as a compiler for ES6+ features. Jeremy illustrates how the architecture of Angular 2 empowers developers to create versatile and powerful applications and explains how to structure and build an Angular 2 app using TypeScript and ES6+. You’ll get practical training on Angular 2 architecture as you learn how TypeScript can improve your applications and how ES6+ makes Angular 2 more approachable and easier to work with.
