Angular 2
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 {{ are called "template-tags" (or "mustache tags"). Inside template-tags is expression.

<input name="title" #newtitle>
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)
@Component is called a decorator, which adds metadata to the class that follows it.
Using the Template:... 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.
[squareBrackets] pass inputs and (parenthesis) handle outputs.
