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.

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.

I get invited to premieres, and I've been to a few fashion shows and stuff, but I always get really bored. I feel quite awkward. You have to wear something by them, and it all feels like, 'Why am I doing free advertising for you?'

Death can really absorb a person. Lik most people, I would find it pleasant not to have to go, but you just accept that it's more or less inevitable.

The great end of life is not knowledge but action.

There is a real danger of the United Kingdom breaking up. There is a loss of common identity.

We can try to reform healthcare but the fact is if we dont have a healthy food source we are only treating the symptoms and not the problems.

Even bad decisions usually result in good lessons learned.

There are footballers who are very good playing on the outside but don't know what to do inside. Then there are players who are very good inside but don't have the physique, the legs, to go outside.

It's the millenium, motives are incidental.

Startups are not the best choice for work-life balance, and that's sort of just the sad reality.

I come from a little island with the Caribbean Sea on one side and the Atlantic Ocean on the other. I come from, really, nowhere, and for me, the fiction and the nonfiction, creative or otherwise, all come from the same place.

Where will I be five years from now? I delight in not knowing. That's one of the greatest things about life, its wonderful surprises.

I'm not hiding who I am anymore - not pretending I'm something I'm not.

I don't use the Internet, as I don't like living with lots of distractions. I have tried, but I found it a hindrance. as my sense of priorities goes out of the window and it pulls me out of my writing, particularly with email. I'd sit there for hours just replying to emails.

For a quick, healthy meal that's also fun for kids, I serve fish tacos: soft tortillas, lettuce, tomatoes, black beans and brown rice.

I would have taken whatever hand I was dealt. Space was it.

Don't get me wrong: I love social websites like Facebook and Twitter, but I think it creates way too many opportunities for young people to bully.

Every one of us has a response of some kind to music, so I don't think it's fair to ever judge what is proper and what's not.

I'm a religious fanatic? Yes, I am, actually.

A lifetime contract for a coach means if you're ahead in the third quarter and moving the ball, they can't fire you.

Opera is complex for those who perform it, but also for those who listen to it. It takes more time, more patience and more spirit of sacrifice. All this is well worth it because opera offers such deep sensations that they will remain in a heart for a lifetime.

Extraordinary afflictions are not always the punishment of extraordinary sins, but sometimes the trial of extraordinary graces.

I read some, and then visited with people involved in this curious, exciting and somewhat misunderstood sub-culture. I met with a fang maker, who offered to fit me for an exquisite pair.
