Components use services, which provide specific functionality not directly related to views.

Webpack has become the defacto standard when building Angular applications, you can check an introduction to Webpack post here on the Angular documentation.

System.js System was heavily used in the beginning whilst Angular was being built and during the release candidate stages before official release, however the team have switched to advocating Webpack instead due to it being much more powerful.

Angular CLI The Angular CLI was built to help scaffold new projects, create components and help with deployment. Underneath it utilises Webpack for you.

The basic building blocks of an Angular application are NgModules, which provide a compilation context for components.

An Angular app is defined by a set of NgModules.

An app always has at least a root module that enables bootstrapping, and typically has many more feature modules.

Components define views, which are sets of screen elements.

Service providers can be injected into components as dependencies, making your code modular, reusable, and efficient.

Both components and services are simply classes, with decorators that mark their type and provide metadata that tells Angular how to use them.

Metadata is a way of processing the class. A class will be a class unless we tell Angular that is a Component, Service etc. Decorators that mark their type and provide the metadata that tells Angular how to use them.

The metadata for a component class associates it with a template that defines a view.

The metadata for a service class provides the information Angular needs to make it available to components through dependency injection (DI).

Angular provides the Router service to help you define navigation paths among views.

An NgModule declares a compilation context for a set of components that is dedicated to an application domain, a workflow, or a closely related set of capabilities.

NgModules can import functionality from other NgModules, and allow their own functionality to be exported and used by other NgModules. For example, to use the router service in your app, you import the Router NgModule.

Organising your code into distinct functional modules helps in managing development of complex applications. This technique lets you take advantage of lazy-loading—that is, loading modules on demand—

Every Angular app has a root module, conventionally named AppModule, which provides the bootstrap mechanism that launches the application.

A template combines ordinary HTML with Angular directives and binding markup that allow Angular to modify the HTML before rendering it for display.

Angular |-- App1 | |-- Module (root App BS module) | |-- * View * (n) | +-- Component | +-- Template | |-- Service (n) | |-- Module (n) |-- App2 (n)

In a first pregnancy, you don't have a child yet, so you can nap and see movies and exercise. The notion of 'baby' is abstract. You look at the ultrasound and don't really understand that the creature you're seeing is soon going to be your roommate.

No matter how far you go, I will keep loving you because you are the best thing that has ever happened to me. I really love you!

Nobody can acquire honor by doing what is wrong.

Show me a person who doesnt like french fries and well swap lies.

Vote early and vote often.

In our modern age - in the age of free information - I don't think there is any place for dictatorships.

Cause when you're sequencing a record, you want the listener to stick with it from beginning to end, and in order to do that, you really have to map out the journey from the first song to the last.

I go into meetings with some film-makers and they literally have nothing to say, they're almost bored by their own material. I'd rather work with people who are very passionate and very animated about what they want to do. People who just want to tell stories.

Experience by itself teaches nothing...Without theory, experience has no meaning. Without theory, one has no questions to ask. Hence without theory there is no learning.

What a man does for others, not what they do for him, gives him immortality.

The truth is, you have about three paragraphs in a short story, three pages in a novel, to capture that editor's attention enough for her to finish your story.

Seek for good, but expect evil.

I like that theres no love as fierce as the love you feel for your family that theres no one you feel more protective of than the very same people who can drive you crazy.

You can say what you want about me. You can yell at me with a video camera and be TMZ. You can follow me around and take pictures all you want. I don't care.

Be a dreamer. If you don't know how to dream, you're dead.

My mother-in-law said, 'One day I will dance on your grave.' I said 'I hope you do; I will be buried at sea.'

I steal props from 'SNL' a great deal. Almost every sketch I'm in, I try to grab something from it, so I have a storage space full of props.

Start early and begin raising the bar throughout the day.

I think the economic empowerment of women that has been growing over the past decade is at the 'inflection point' with this global recession. Women are, we believe, the solution for their families in their ability to go out and increase household income.

Everybody is a hypocrite. You can't live on this planet without being a hypocrite.

I am a hopeless romantic. And I won't stop till I get it right.

A blocked path also offers guidance.

We boil at different degrees.

Always carry a corkscrew and the wine shall provide itself.
