I am in Germany and this link forces a redirect to angularjs.blogspot.de because of my location (which is a version of the blog in German, which I don't read). No simple way around this, and no link I can see to go to .com instead. That's quite frustrating.

I wonder, does the .co.uk one also redirect to .de? You might find that as an already-"localised" one it doesn't redirect?

Resources for learning Angular2?

[Shameless plug]: I've been writing a book on Angular 2 over the past few months: ng-book 2 [1]. If you want to write your first app, you can get the first chapter of our book for free. You can of course learn Angular 2 from lots of disparate blogs on the internet. There's lots of good resources. But the goal of our book is that you'll be able to learn everything, in-order, in one place. We've been keeping the book u…

ng-book is one of the most in-depth resources that I recommend to those who want to get into angular development. I can't quite say the same for ng-book 2, as I have not yet read it, but it's definitely worth spending money on, especially when you get the updated versions on digital copy.

I'm curious what Angular 2 is like for developers who normally write React? I hear 2 is a lot better than 1, but I'm still turned off by the amount of Angular-specific terminology, whereas most of React terminology is not necessarily React-specific.

Never understood why people liked React so much. I don't know why, but mixing javascript and HTML just looks... gross.

You don't have to use JSX.

Try using this url instead: http://angularjs.blogspot.com/ncr

Which is why Angular mixes javascript into HTML. So much better. Right?

(at least 1.x did)

I'm someone that initially hated the look of JSX (the html markup inside of Javascript thing).

But I've learned to like it. React encourages you to keep components very granular and small and so the amount of markup in each component doesn't really get in the way I find. I've also learned to appreciate how easy it is to reason about what React is going to spit out onto the page because the view is right next to the logic that dictates the various states of the view. Feels very concise.

I still don't like the idea of it, but in practice it works quite well.

Uh did Angular not get the memo that people hate the new syntax and typescript? This is how you turn the most popular javascript MVC framework to nothing.

You can write your Angular 2 application code in ES5, ES6, TypeScript, Dart, or to-JS languages like CoffeeScript.

TypeScript is pretty popular and it does work really well. Writing larger applications in a team is much easier if there is tooling to assist you. With most projects, about 80% of the work is maintenance and tooling does immensely help with that.

Yeah good point!

(Edit) No actually I spoke to soon. Even when the url doesn't redirect, the blog post is still in German for me! (Edit again) Must have been cached, it's in English now.
