Application not compiling

I'm having some problems with the "Your First Angular Application video". The project won't compile. First, my relevant source code:

app.module.ts

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';


@NgModule({
    imports: [BrowserModule], 
    declarations: [AppComponent], 
    bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})

export class AppModule {

}

and main.ts:

import './styles/main.css';
import {platformBrowserDynamic} from '@angular/platform-browser-dynamic';
import { AppModule } from './app/app.module';

platformBrowserDynamic().bootstrapModule(AppModule);

I'm getting a warning from Sublime on the AppModule export that "Experimental support for decorators blah blah blah....". This setting is "true" in my package.json, so I have no ide what to do about that. This seems to be tied into the error of main.ts being unable to find the app module. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Your code is exactly same as mine line for line and my project is compiling. I even cut 'n pasted your code into my files and it still works. I believe the problems lies somewhere else.
