I am simple and newbie web developer. I am going to create simple website for my own use.

As a newbie web developer i know only very little concepts of javascript and jquery.

For building my website i thought let's build with some new concepts.

So when i started searching i gotta know lots of new libraries like AngularJS, Angular 2, TypeScript, React.js and Node.js. whewww...

So i want to ask simple question what are all this libraries?

Is there any difference between Angular 2 Angular Connect AngularJS AngularJS?

I know that React.js is created by Facebook and AngularJS is created by Google.

I don't want to create the comparison between all this libraries. But want to understand all this concepts in single page with clear answer.

As a web developer i just want to know what all this things are?

Please just help me to make all this Terms simple. And please let me know what each library provides?

Angular 2 V/S Angular js V/S React js v/s Typescript

First angular 2 vs. angular 1

  • Angular 2 : its the next version of angular ... currently under active development. It is being rewritten in TypeScript https://angular.io/

  • Angular 1 : Its the current version of angular : https://angularjs.org/

Now angular vs. react

  • Angular is a full featured framework (e.g. http routing is baked in). React is just the view with people providing the other libraries (like http routing).

Finally TypeScript : Its just a programming language that transpiles to JavaScript and can therefore be used with any of these frameworks.

Sorry for such comment. But Angular 2 is handled by completely different community / organization or handled by same community may be google? – Nirav Kamani Oct 23 '15 at 10:27
    
Angular is by Google, React by Facebook – AndyFaizan Dec 8 '15 at 11:06
    
Don't be sorry, Angular <1 and 2 both are supported by Google only, its just that Angular 2 is now based on Typescript which is developed by Microsoft – keshav Jan 16 at 11:56

Typescript is not a library, it's a language that compiles to Javascript, permits static typing, and some other stuff like writing ES6 and compiling it to ES5.

An important thing of Typescript is that any Javascript code is valid Typescript code. It's a superset of JS, that means that it just adds features to JS, but keeps all of it compatible.

It's compatible with each of the three libraries.
