  # Learning path
 | 
						|
  You don't have to read the guide straight through.  Most pages stand on their own.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  For those new to Angular, the recommended learning path runs through the *Guide* section:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  1. For the big picture, read the [Architecture](architecture.html) overview.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  1. Try [QuickStart](../quickstart.html). QuickStart is the "Hello, World" of Angular.
 | 
						|
  It shows you how to set up the libraries and tools you'll need to write *any* Angular app.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  1. Take the *Tour of Heroes* [tutorial](../tutorial), which picks up where QuickStart leaves off,
 | 
						|
  and builds a simple data-driven app. The app 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. [Displaying Data](displaying-data.html) explains how to display information on the screen.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  1. [User Input](user-input.html) covers how Angular responds to user behavior.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  1. [Forms](forms.html) handles user 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, you can skip to any other pages on this site.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|

 | 
						|
  # Code samples
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  Each page includes code snippets that you can reuse in your applications.
 | 
						|
  These snippets are excerpts from a sample application that accompanies the page.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
block example-links
 | 
						|
  :marked
 | 
						|
    Look for a link to a running version of that sample near the top of each page,
 | 
						|
    such as this <live-example name="architecture"></live-example> from the [Architecture](architecture.html) page.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    The link launches a browser-based code editor where you can inspect, modify, save, and download the code.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
:marked
 | 
						|
  A few early pages are written as tutorials and are clearly marked as such.
 | 
						|
  The rest of the pages highlight key points in code rather than explain each step necessary to build the sample.
 | 
						|
  You can always get the full source through the #{_liveLink}.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  # Reference pages
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  The [Cheat Sheet](cheatsheet.html) lists Angular syntax for common scenarios.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  The [Glossary](glossary.html) defines terms that Angular developers should know.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  The [API Reference](../api/) is the authority on every public-facing member of the Angular libraries.
 | 
						|
