AngularJS is a JavaScript framework that helps developers build powerful web applications. The creators of Angular included TypeScript to provide the power of strongly-typed objects and object-oriented programming. In this session, you will learn how to use Angular 2 and TypeScript to build web applications that are maintainable, robust, and scalable.
