This is a practical guide to Angular for experienced programmers who
are building client applications in HTML and #{langName}.
We are on a journey together to understand how Angular works and, more importantly,
how to make it work for us. This overview begins the journey.

A step-by-step, immersive approach to learning Angular.
It begins with the [QuickStart](../quickstart.html),
the foundation for every chapter and sample in this documentation,

# Learning Path
We don't have to read the guide straight through. Most chapters stand on their own.
We recommend a learning path for those new to Angular.
Most of that path runs through the *Basics* section:
1. Read the [Architecture Overview](architecture.html) to get the big picture.
1. Try the [QuickStart](../quickstart.html). The QuickStart is the "Hello, World" of Angular 2.
It shows us how to setup the libraries and tools we'll need to write *any* Angular app.
1. Take the *Tour of Heroes* [Tutorial](../tutorial) which picks up from where the QuickStart leaves off
and builds a simple data-driven app.
Simple, yes, but with the essential characteristics we'd expect of a professional application:
a sensible project structure, data binding, master/detail, services, dependency injection, navigation, and remote data access.
Return to the *Basics* section and continue in the suggested order:
1. [Displaying Data](displaying-data.html) explains how to get information on to the screen.
1. [User Input](user-input.html) covers the basics of responding to user behavior.
1. [Forms](forms.html) handle user data entry and validation within the UI.
1. [Dependency Injection](dependency-injection.html) is the way we build large, maintainable applications
from small, single purpose parts.
1. [Template Syntax](template-syntax.html) is a comprehensive study of Angular template HTML.
With this foundation, we can read and understand any chapter in the guide.

# Code Samples
Every chapter includes code snippets that we can reuse in our own applications.
These snippets are excerpts from a sample application that accompanies the chapter.
Look for a link to a running version of that sample near the top of each page
such as this [live example](/resources/live-examples/architecture/ts/plnkr.html) from the [Architecture](architecture.html) chapter.
The link launches a browser-based code editor where we can inspect, modify, save, and download the code.
A few early chapters are written as tutorials and are clearly marked as such.
Most chapters are *not* tutorials.
They highlight key points in code rather than explain each step necessary to build the sample.
We can always get the full source by way of the live link.
## References
The [Cheat Sheet](cheatsheet.html) lists Angular syntax for common scenarios.
The [Glossary](glossary.html) defines terms that Angular developers should know.
The [API Guide](../api/) is the authority on every public-facing member of the Angular libraries.
