This document provides an overview of Angular2 including what it is, when it was announced, key differences from Angular1, core concepts, change detection, and mobile support. Angular2 was announced in 2014, is written entirely in Typescript, and is designed from the ground up for mobile with a focus on memory efficiency. It introduces new concepts like components and dependency injection while removing controllers and scopes. Change detection is handled through zones and by each component. A demo of a task manager application is provided and upgrading from Angular1 is discussed.
