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.

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.

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

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.

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)

Whatever you may say, the body depends on the soul.

I hang out with the 'nerdy' people - they have a different sense of humor than most kids.

I think that there is not any group of people in this country who do not believe that they should be a part of the process.

I feel that Christian music is a subculture directed towards the Christians. It's not really being exposed to non-Christians and it's not really created for non-Christians, so non-Christians almost never hear any of this music.

I did a lot of gasoline commercials - Hess, Texaco. I was part of the family in the car, the little brat in the back.

Limitations are something that I latch onto - like working in genre, or if you're writing TV, there are act breaks, there's a length of time it's supposed to be. The restrictions of budget and sets can be really useful. When you can have everything, it's very hard to make things feel real and lived in.

Are we simply waving farewell to the days when some of the most interesting thinking in Europe and America came to us from our fiction film-makers? BBC2, which once introduced and showed great films, now shows none.

My mom, she's a breast cancer survivor and because of that I had started getting mammograms once a year, starting at age 30.

A healthy body is a guest chamber for the soul a sick body is a prison.

I definitely grew up to Nina Simone and a lot of Ella Fitzgerald. And I loved Amy Winehouse. I loved that sort of soulful singer.

Prayer's important, not just as some kind of a metaphysical exercise, but I think it's a way to refresh one's own mind and motive. If you're praying, you're really looking beyond your own personal thoughts and the pressures that are around you.

We stand our best chance of leaving a legacy to those who want to learn, our children, by standing firm. In matters of style, hey, swing with the stream. But in matters of principle, you need to stand like a rock.

The early parodies that talk-show people did of rock n' roll in the '50s were terrible. They didn't know it, they didn't like it - and that's a lethal combination.

It is water, in every form and at every scale, that saturates the mind. All the water that will ever be is, right now.

California is the highest-tax state in the nation and has been for a long time. It has the highest-paid teachers in the nation, by far - $400 a month more than New Jersey - and yet California is the third lowest state on test scores for fourth and eighth grade English and math in the nation, and has been at the low level for a long, long time.

Act with kindness, but do not expect gratitude.

I tend to see the similarities in people and not the differences.

Not until just before dawn do people sleep best; not until people get old do they become wise.

If I looked good in 'Wolf of Wall Street,' I cannot take full credit; it was because of the hair extensions and makeup.

The market is the creator of social wealth and the wellspring of self-sustaining economic development.

I'm the star of stage, screen, and television now, but I'm also available for children's parties and bar mitzvahs.

When you're talking about an authority figure oppressing against people, it's the people that hold that authority figure up. If you want to get free of this bondage, then we need to think about ways to free ourselves rather than looking to the oppressors to free us.

I hate the term 'black' because it doesn't bring to life who we are as a people. The term 'black' has more negative synonyms than the term white.

We reveal our joys and successes, we conceal our pain.
