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

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.

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)

I find actors a little bit too self-conscious.

The greatest benefit of synergy is born in the diversity of perspectives. The highest value can be found in these variances. Too much of the same does not create change in the same way.

Perhaps there are just some things you leave behind when you choose a new life.

I just want real creative freedom without worrying about, you know, car payments.

I was a big sci-fi fantasy geek when I was younger... secretly, in my room.

You must find the note, the correct key, for your story. If you find it, everything will work. If you do not, everything will stick out like elbows.

When you take risks you learn that there will be times when you succeed and there will be times when you fail, and both are equally important.

Everything in writing begins with language. Language begins with listening.

Yeah, what happened was Universal wanted one of the characters to be nice so they chose me so there was a scene where the girl was tied to the bed and I let her go.

Beauty is only skin deep and the world is full of thin skinned people.

If you need help, look to clergy who do not spout their own beliefs but direct you in sincerity by using the Bible.

The silence depressed me.? It wasn't the silence of silence.? It was my own silence.?

I think fashion is actually very good training for being in the tech world, because it's all about moving on to the next thing, looking for the next thing, not getting stuck in the past.

The first dress that I wore in the Spice Girls, which everybody thought was a little black Gucci dress, was actually from Miss Selfridge - it wasn't a little black Gucci dress.

How much time he gains who does not look to see what his neighbour says or does or thinks but only at what he does himself to make it just and holy.

I'm very impatient, and if I get a new piece of technology, no matter what it is - I recently got the iPhone, which is very exciting - I can't be doing with reading manuals. I want it to work immediately and to do what I want it to do.

In order to solve the climate crisis we need to solve the democracy crisis.

Our similarities bring us to a common ground; Our differences allow us to be fascinated by each other.

I think that the future belongs to democracy, but not to capitalism, because they are opposite camps.

A lot of people relate leadership to formalities. They believe that leadership is about being professional and strong and always right and being a booming voice. I just don't buy that. I think that leadership is a soft skill; it's a people skill.

How one deals with the death of a loved one is a highly personalized affair. Some people weep for days; others take a hike in the woods or count rosary beads.

Belief is so valuable and living that it infuses with life everything it enters! It transforms the fleeting glimmer of transitory life into eternal life, dispelling the transience in it.

To see a friend who has suffered the loss of all things begin again with trust and love, gives us strength to continue on.

There seems to be more opportunities for old guys like me to do a little fighting and running because the lead characters also require a bit of depth and maturity and gravitas that one is likely to acquire doing drama all those years.
