Learning objectives

Before we dive in, a quick note regarding the technical terms.

Some words have a special meaning in the context of Angular. In the broader JavaScript context, they have plenty other meanings. This guide tries to distinguish these meanings by using a different letter case.

When referring to core Angular concepts, this guide uses upper case:

Module, Component, Service, Input, Output, Directive, Pipe, etc.

When using these terms in the general sense, this guide uses lower case:

module, component, service, input, output, etc.
