* Component
**  '''root component''' is required. Conventionally, it's named <span class="package">AppComponent</span>.
** component controls a portion of the screen - a ''view'' - through its template.
** essential structure
*** one or more <code>import</code> statements
*** <code>@Component</code> decorator
*** component ''class'' that controls the appearance and behavior

= Data Architecture =
== Observables (aka Reactive Programming) ==
* Promises emit single values, and streams emit multiple values
** callbacks -> promises
* code subscribes to be notified of changes and streams "push" data to these subscribers
* RxJS is functional -- functional operators are applied like for arrays
* streams are composable -- they are like a pipeline of operations over your data
== Ways to get data into the application ==
* AJAX HTTP Requests
* Websockets
* Indexdb
* LocalStorage
* Service Workers
== New ideas on the horizon ==
* MVW
* Flux
* Observables
* Falcor
= Forms =
== FormBuilder ==
<syntaxhighlight lang="typescript">
export class DemoFormSkuBuilder {
  myForm: ControlGroup;
  constructor(fb: FormBuilder) {
    this.myForm = fb.group({
      'sku': ['ABC123']
    });
  }
  onSubmit(value:string): void {
    console.log('you submitted value: ',value);
  }
}
</syntaxhighlight>
== @Component Annotation ==
<source lang="typescript">
import {Component} from 'angular2/core';
import {FORM_DIRECTIVES} from 'angular2/common';
@Component({
  selector: 'demo-form-sku',
  directives: [FORM_DIRECTIVES], // a shorthand to several directives for forms
  template: `
<div class="ui raised segment">
    <h2 class="ui header">Demo Form: Sku</h2>
    <form #f="ngForm"
        (ngSubmit)="onSubmit(f.value)" // when I submit the form, call onSubmit on my component instance,
                                      // passing the value of the form as the arguments."
        classd="ui form">
        <div class="field">
            <label for="skuInput">SKU</label>
            <input type="text"
                id="skuInput"
                placeholder="SKU"
                ngControl="sku">
        </div>
        <button type="submit class="ui button">Submit</button>
    </form>
</div>
`
})
bootstrap(MyApp);
</source>
ngForm includes the <code>form</code> tag in its selector (instead of requiring you to explicitly add ngForm as an attribute). If you inject FORM_DIRECTIVES, ngForm will get automatically attached to any <form> tags you have in your view.
== ControlGroup ==
<syntaxhighlight lang="typescript">
let personInfo = new ControlGroup({
  firstName: new Control("Michael"),
  lastName: new Control("Han"),
  zip: new Control("90210")
})
// personInfo.value; .errors .dirty .valid
</syntaxhighlight>
== Control ==
<syntaxhighlight lang="typescript">
let nameControl = new Control("Test");
let name = nameControl.value;
nameControl.errors; nameControl.dirty; nameControl.valid;
</syntaxhighlight>
<syntaxhighlight lang="html">
<input type="text" ngControl="name"/>

Four basic libraries to include
* es6-shim (for older browsers -- standardizes behaviors across browsers)
* angular2-polyfills (for standardizations, especially with zones, promises, and reflection)
* SystemJS (module loader)
* RxJS (enables reactive programming -- tools for Observables)

TypeScript app.ts. import {bootstrap}, and {bootstrap} is called ''destructuring''.

Adding a variable. Adding a ''property'' is new to ES5: "name: string;". Double brackets <nowiki>{{</nowiki> are called "template-tags" (or "mustache tags"). Inside template-tags is ''expression''.

class HelloWorld {
    names: string[];
    constructor() {

<code><input name="title" #newtitle></code>
Tells Angular to ''bind'' this <input> to the variable '''newtitle'''. '''#newtitle''' syntax is called a ''resolve''.

Advantages of TypeScript over ES5:
* types
* classes
* annotations
* imports
* language utilities (e.g. destructuring)
<syntaxhighlight lang="javascript">

@Component is called a ''decorator'', which adds metadata to the class that follows it.
Using the {{ ... }} syntax is called ''template binding''.
''directives'' specifies other components we want to be able to use in this view. The option takes an array of classes.
<nowiki>[squareBrackets]</nowiki> pass inputs and (parenthesis) handle outputs.
