Angular 2 marks a significant upgrade to this popular front­end JavaScript framework — not so much an “incremental update” as a “complete rewrite” to Angular 1. This may sound scary when it comes to moving your project or team to a new version, but in this video course Scott Davis will help break down the changes to come and put you on a path to migration.In this course you'll learn the various syntactical changes introduced in Angular 2 and also how the new Angular is components­driven and leverages features of the modern webs tack. Angular 2 also offers flexibility in terms of language choice, and this course will introduce two main development paths, one using TypeScript and another using ECMAScript 6. This course will also introduce tooling and libraries that will be important for your development environment when working with Angular 2. By the end of this course, you will have gained an understanding of the changes coming in Angular 2, the decision making behind these choices, and how to be prepared to make the jump when Angular 2 releases.
