  Everyone learns differently.
  You don't have to read the documentation straight through.  Most pages stand on their own.
  Those new to Angular may wish to follow this popular learning path.
  <br class="l-clear-left">

  1. [Setup](setup.html "Setup locally withe Quickstart seed") for local Angular development, if you haven't already done so.

  1. Take the [*Tour of Heroes* tutorial](../tutorial "Tour of Heroes"). 
  
    The *Tour of Heroes* takes you step-by-step from [setup](setup.html)
    to a full-featured example that demonstrates the essential characteristics of a professional application:
    a sensible project structure, data binding, master/detail, services, dependency injection, navigation, and remote data access.

  1. <a id="architecture"></a>Read the [Architecture](architecture.html) overview for the big picture.
  <li if-docs="ts"><p>
    [The Root Module](appmodule.html) introduces the `NgModule` class that tells Angular how to compile and run your application.
  </p></li>

  1. [Displaying Data](displaying-data.html) shows how data binding puts component property values on screen.

  1. [User Input](user-input.html) explains how to respond to user-initiated DOM events.

  1. [Forms](forms.html) covers data entry and validation within the UI.

  1. [Dependency Injection](dependency-injection.html) is the way to build large, maintainable applications
  from small, single-purpose parts.

  1. [Template Syntax](template-syntax.html) is a comprehensive study of Angular template HTML.

  After reading the above sections, feel free to skip around among the other pages on this site.
