Been hearing a lot about how different Angular 2.0 is going to be and there's gonna be lots of relearning the concept as well as rewriting the code. Is it still relevant to learn the current version? Or should I just wait for 2.0 and learn other frameworks like React?

Also, although Angular 2.0 will look fairly different, the core concept of the language will most likely stay the same.

Angular 2.0 is breaking release with some major changes. IMHO its good to wait for at least 2.1 to look at changes and consider if they are good. But core concepts in Angular will remain same.

Courses Plus Student 16,352 PointsThere are plenty of companies using Angular now that either will not port over to 2.x or will take a long time. Until then, it will need to be maintained by someone. Learning 1.x is not a waste of time, in my opinion.
