Re: React vs. Angular 2
#2For someone who hasn't had to do much work on the front end JS technologies like Ember, Angular, React, etc. What is a good resource to start learning Angular 2 (even though its not out yet)? I came across ng-book2 [0] but I've heard mixed reviews about their first book.

Egghead.io has some good stuff so far. https://egghead.io/technologies/angular2

I found Build Your Own Angular [1] gave me the most understanding in the least amount of time. It's geared more towards understanding (and Angular 1 not 2) and not so much towards building stuff though so YMMV.

Honestly? I would start with React. The way Angular 2 has been going, they are adopting a lot of new ideas from React.

#6Isn't this like comparing apples to a fruit salad? Quoting from the React website, "Lots of people use React as the V in MVC," whereas Angular is the whole kit `n' kaboodle.
I thought React was supposed to be used in tandem with a Flux-like component that stores the state of the application, thereby allowing the developer to adopt the functional reactive programming style.
Anyways, I think React will be short lived, because anyone who really wants to hop on the FRP bandwagon will pick up something like http://elm-lang.org in order to fully achieve Satori. I mean, if you're going to drink the Kool-aid, you might as well down the whole pitcher.

I have to say that it does not start from scratch when it teaches angular 2, it expects you to have some understanding of angular to understand what's going on.

React only covers the V of MVC, true, but in practice it influences heavily the rest of your app.
So comparing Angular and React is useful, most people will have to pick one or the other when they start their next project.

I, myself, tried to learn it by generating a sample project with Yeoman. Only to find myself in a project where so many things were already done for me that I couldn't make sense of all the pieces that allowed it to work correctly.
I would make a couple of changes and if one of them broke something, I was not able to quickly identify what I had done that was a problem. I'd recommend that you go step by step a build a small app from the ground with tutorials.

With a major framework in alpha like Angular 2, your best bet is to try diving into creating a major project, and to figure out how to build components. Reading the source code is important at this stage, but there is also https://angular.io/cheatsheet
I should mention that it is still rough at the moment. There is a major problem with component API design currently with the lack of a good mechanism to flow changes from the child components to the parent and vice versa for interoperability, but the Angular team is aware of this and working on a solution. I would highly recommend against using Angular 2 for production code currently - it is alpha after all, and it comes with all of the pains of breaking changes, and flawed APIs.
Testing is not as straightforward to figure out either - I believe we on the ng-bootstrap team are the only third party library to actually be testing in Angular 2 currently, so if you want to see how tests work in Angular 2 & how to implement the infrastructure, I would recommend checking out the repository here: https://github.com/ng-bootstrap/core .
