Switching to Angular 2
AngularJS is a JavaScript framework that makes building web applications easier. It is used today in large-scale, high-traffic websites that struggle with under-performance, portability issues, as well as SEO unfriendliness, and complexity at scale. Angular 2 changes that. It is the modern framework you need to build performant and robust web applications. “Switching to Angular 2” is the quickest way to get to grips with Angular 2 and will help you transition in to the brave new world of Angular 2. We'll start with an overview which sets the changes of the framework in context with version 1.x. After that, you will be taken on a TypeScript crash-course so we can take advantage of Angular 2 in its native, statically-typed environment. We'll look at the new change-detection method in detail, how Directives and Components change how you create websites with Angular, the new Angular 2 router, and much more. By the end of the book, you'll be ready to start building quick and efficient Angular 2 applications that take advantage of all the new features on offer. Minko Gechev is a software engineer who strongly believes in open source software. He has developed numerous such projects, including AngularJS 1.x and Angular 2 style guides, angular2-seed, a static code analyzer for Angular 2 projects, aspect.js, angular-aop, and many others. He runs training courses in JavaScript, Angular, and other web technologies. Minko loves to experiment with theoretical concepts from computer science and apply them in practice. He has spoken about Angular and software development at worldwide conferences and meetups, including ng-vegas, AngularConnect, ITWeekend Kiev, AngularJS-SF, and Angular Berlin.

"Switching to Angular 2" is easy to follow, delightful to comprehend and forward thinking. I would recommend it even if you don't have solid experience with angular 1 (like me). Long story short: With the guidance of this book I was able to write an angular 2 app in my spare time so this proves enough of its usefulness :)
