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.

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

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.

If their were more Franklin operations it could help the cause much more than right wing activity.

In our depths, I think we all feel very small in relation to the greater universe and God.

Everyone goes through a hard time in their life.

I have one of those faces that nobody likes.

Every one belongs to every one else.

The Russian yearning for the meaning of life is the major theme of our literature, and this is the real point of our intelligentsia's existence.

Come on, we would be foolish to say that there's never been African-American leads in some capacity, people of color in some capacity, leading shows or what have you. But it hasn't happened enough and in a manner that is an accurate reflection of the world that we live in.

Sometimes we must lose ourselves to find ourselves.

I took vocal lessons for the first time and actually learned a lot about using my voice as an instrument as opposed to just doing what I've always done and going by feeling. I'm still doing that, but I've learned a lot of tricks and how to manipulate and play with my voice a little bit.

Always serve too much hot fudge sauce on hot fudge sundaes. It makes people overjoyed, and puts them in your debt.

Coming out of your comfort zone is tough in the beginning chaotic in the middle and awesome in the endbecause in the end it shows you a whole new world.

The first view of the Earth is magical. It is a very overpowering realization that the Earth is so small. It affected me. I could not get over the notion that in such a small planet, with such a small ribbon of life, so much goes on. It is as if the whole place is sacred.

'Prometheus' was a great experience for me.

I can use movie as a language. Not only could it send a good message, I could let people know about my thinking and how I see the world, how I see the colour, how I see the music, how I see everything.

It may sound funny, but I love the South. I don't choose to live anywhere else. There's land here, where a man can raise cattle, and I'm going to do it some day.

So we are pretty convinced we don't want to play huge stadiums unless we can play them well.

Innovation almost always is not successful the first time out. You try something, and it doesn't work, and it takes confidence to say we haven't failed yet... Ultimately, you become commercially successful.

When you sing a song the way I sing it, you have to use your whole body. It's almost like working out.

Grievance does not make for great art.

Life can always change, you have to adjust.

I started out as an actor, where you seek to understand yourself using the words of great writers and collaborating with other creative people. Then I slid into show business, where you seek only an audience's approval whether you deserve it or not.

It is money, money, money! Not ideas, not principles, but money that reigns supreme in American politics.

Lots of kids, including my son, have trouble making the leap from reading words or a few sentences in picture books to chapter books. Chapters are often long... 10 pages can seem like a lifetime to a young reader. Then reading becomes laborious and serious. That's why some of the chapters in my books are very short.
