Resources for learning Angular2?

egghead.io could be worth checking out...

They seem well prepared for the demand in Angular2 training :

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.

Lets see what happens to react. I hear React is building in support for Relay, React Native, other facebook stuff. I Edit; Sorry i meant Conway's Law https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway%27s_law

Isn't Godwin's law that any online discussion will eventually lead to someone comparing something or someone to Nazi Germany if given enough time?

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.

Then what do you use?

We write our react components using coffeescript, it actually works pretty well.

Just build the dom in JS, like so: React.createElement( string/ReactClass type, [object props], [children ...] )

Jen from Telerik DevRel here...we are working with Google to ensure that Angular 2 works great for your NativeScript apps. Please check our blogs at nativescript.org for forthcoming info on performance comparisons and how-tos. I'd encourage you to visit our getting started guide on the above web site to see how you like NativeScript!

> Angular 2 works great for your NativeScript app How is it going to work exactly ?

As a plugin for the NativeScript runtime. Check this video from Angular Connect which goes over exactly how it works. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SbiiyRSIwo

..I feel the same way. I prefer creating dom with code syntax.

You can replace JSX by hand-coding with React classes - take a look at the compiled jsx and mimic that. I find it as easy to work with, and less cognitive dissonance [ a personal preference ]

I actually am looking seriously at Mithril in preference to React for my next chunk of work.

I might swing the other way if React native became stellar [ and viably crossplatform ]

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.

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

ncr = No Country Redirect

Previously used by google.com too, seems to be ignored now.

Great. It's right there in the sentence you quoted.

Great doesn't the describe the WAY it is supposed to work. I asked HOW like IN WHICH WAY.

Angular2's architecture is split in such a way that the rendering layer is separated from the application code. This allows swapping out the render layer - enables stuff like NativeScript and React Native renderers, server-side universal and running your app in a web-worker, dispatching to the main thread to render.

Angular 2 is late to the party. The user base of Angular 1.x has already moved on. I wish the success of a web framework was a bit more about the technology nature of it rather than the market adoption and hype.

I'm not sure if that's entirely accurate

Here's a chart where you can see daily download counts for react, angular, and angular2.

http://npmcharts.com/compare/angular,react,angular2

React does indeed have about 4x as many daily downloads, but (Angular 1 + 2)'s download counts are ~5x what they were a year ago. (iirc the ng-europe RIP Angular fiasco happened in October 2014)
