Principles - Good caretakers of the Angular codebase and the Angular community.

Why is Angular here? Built for Google

Evolving Angular

Project models

• Closed Source
• Open Source Export
• Open Source w/ community involvement (this is where Angular fits)

ng-team

• Continued to grow exponentially in 2015
• Companies working as partners with Google on the Core Team (i.e. Amadeus)

v1.4 input from community

• New Router (shared with 2.o)
• New i18n
• Better performance
• 1.4 RC0 next week

Angular Material

• Implement Google Material in directives
• Accessability out of the box
• Layout system based on flexbox

v1.5, v1.6… paving the path to Angular 2.0

Angularjs.org almost 1 million visitors per month

angular.io - angular 2.0 site

Continue to release 1.x until the community stops using it.

Migration

Big Bang

• Stop 1.x and move all features into 2.0 code

Incremental

• Keep developing in 1.x, start migrating individual views
• Migrate core router and start migrating individual views

Style Guide

New Router

ES6 Modules

TypeScript types (optional)

Angular 2 Themes

• Simplicity
• Consisten
• Flexible
• Fast
• Productive

Angular 2 in alpha (angular.io)

• Not ready for production
• Are 1 and 2 similar?

New to v2.0

• Productivity
  • AtScript - help move adoption to ES6, TypeScript and Annotations
• Standards
  • JS specifications and tc39 process

Jonathan Turner - Program Manager, TypeScript

• Collaboration between Angular Team and TypeScript Team
• TypeScript 1.5+

AtScript name is retiring and will just be a part of TypeScript

Language Options

• es5
• es6
• TypeScript

Why is Dart good for Angular?

• Large team working on Angular
• Learn alot from the lessons learned in Angular Dart
• Thanks to the Dart team

Enough for All

• Ember, our partner
• React
• etc.

Simpler

Why is Angular not simple? 2.0 makes it simpler

• 4 template concepts replace 35
• Consistency
• Supported by tools
• Zones = no more $apply
• unidirectional = Predictability
• No ng-model
• Eliminate typos
• APIs mirror your needs
• Angular Loves Standards

Performance

Benchmarks

Deep Tree speed

• Baseline = 1
• Angular 1.3 = 8.58
• Angular 2 = 3.11
• Angular 2 w/view cache = 1.44

Immutable Data Structures (new change detection system)

Angular 2 ships when?

February - Alpha

Now - Preview Angular Website

March - Google migrating first
