Notes

• The book assumes that you are working in a Unix-like environment. If you are on Windows you can use Cygwin so that you can follow along with the bash terminal commands.
• All the project files for the book are hosted on github: https://github.com/aminmeyghani/angular2-intro. You can clone the repository and check out the project files. Throughout the book, you will see references to the project files. Those refer to this repository. For example, angular2-intro/project-files/hello-angular refers to the hello-angular folder inside the project-files folder.
• Make sure you have git installed on your machine. That is, make sure you get an output for git --version.
• The book assumes that you have a working knowledge of JavaScript and Angular 1.x
• Node is heavily used throughout the book. Make sure that you follow the “Node” chapter to install Node and set permissions correctly.
• All the keyboard shortcuts are mac-based. But if you are using a non-mac machine, you can almost always replace command with ctrl and you should be good. For example, if you a see a shortcut like command + shift + b, you can use ctrl + shift + b where ctrl is obviously the control key!
