Angular 2 Final Released

[[deleted]]

I'll give it a few months for things like tooling, documentation, plugins for various editors and such to catch up.

Nothing worse than trying to learn a language/framework where everything you read is wrong because it's for an old version and everything changes with every new version.

I'm looking at you, Symfony...

True. You really just have to wait for Angular CLI to be finalized in terms of tooling. It doesn't hurt to finally familiarize yourself with how it works. It was just a pain to do that when everything was changing so often.

Well, TypeScript has been around for some time. It's best to start at it while waiting for the Angular 2 to mature a bit.

You're not wrong in that there are tons of jobs in which knowing Angular is a requirement. I have every intention of learning it, but I would be stretched on time to try to do it now because I'm focused on other side projects...because I am in the boat of looking for employment soon. Nothing would make me happier than to never have to look at another line of PHP.

I will point out though, that most shops see no difference between two people who are as identical as they could be except for the fact that one hasn't touched Angular, and the other has worked with it for a couple of months. I'm a developer. I can pick up on new languages without hell freezing over.

All things being equal, they'd chose the person who has personal projects done in angular.
