Is the Angular Basics course useful for learning Angular 4?

Since this course teaches Angular 2, I'm wondering if it is still useful for learning Angular 4. Are Angular 2 and 4 similar enough?

Angular 4 is essentially an updated version of Angular 2, so this course will help. The simple way to view it is that the term AngularJS means Angular 1 & Angular refers to Angular 2+.

Is TypeScript a pre-requisite for this course if you're already familiar with JavaScript, classes, objects etc?

Typescript is not super important to learn but it is a (good to have) especially if you're learning Angular 2 or older version since it is developed in typescript from the ground up.
