I am starting to integrate Angular.js into my web project.
I see on the Angular.js download page they have version 2.0.0-snapshot although I don't think version 2 has been formally released.
From the looks of the download page I think the last stable version was 1.4.7. Is that the last stable version?
And also what is recommended? Should start with version 2 or version 1.4.7 (keeping in mind a I am complete beginner).
Angular 2 is currently in Developer Preview. Angular 1.X is recommended for production applications.
That said. It's pretty important to remember that Angular 2 is basically a completely different framework with little-to-no backwards compatibility. When we all do switch (and we will someday), we'll have to start with a fresh plugin community, or wait until developers choose to update their modules to include an Angular 2 version.
Our goal with Angular 2 is to make the best possible set of tools for building web apps not constrained by maintaining backwards compatibility with existing APIs. - Angular Blog
I think the time to migrate will be around 6 months after a production release of Angular 2. That will give the developer community time to catch up and give the framework time to mature in the real world.

I am looking into ways of migration a current Angular 1 project to Angular 4.
Options are ng-forward, ngUpgrade or rewrite.
I am thinking on rewriting it but with a twist.
I keep the current application
Start writing the new one parallel to it
All new NG4 rewrites, I want to use ... so bit by bit in other words.
Has anyone attempted this or know a better way?
Incrementally upgrade an AngularJS application to Angular.
One of the keys to a successful upgrade is to do it incrementally, by running the two frameworks side by side in the same application, and porting AngularJS components to Angular one by one. This makes it possible to upgrade even large and complex applications without disrupting other business, because the work can be done collaboratively and spread over a period of time. The upgrade module in Angular has been designed to make incremental upgrading seamless.

If I read the source of https://angular.io/ right, it looks to me that they are still using Angular 1 there i.e. 1.6 version. To me it is a hint that while the new version of Angular is very advanced there are still challenges when it comes to production deployments of sites that are publicly available?
Story of the undeveloped chicken and the egg. angular.io was there when the new angular was still in alpha. You cannot safely use an alpha version in production builds. Now that angular is released, there is no real advantage in refactoring the entire site to use the new version. Why break something that ain't broken.
If you check the material site you will see that it is build in the new angular
Angular.io using Angular 1 instead of 2 becouse they created this page during working on angular 2 when it wasn't ready yet to production.

We are moving a web application from Jquery to a modern Javascript framework. I hesitate between AngularJS 2 and React.
We read tons of comparaisons and blog posts between the two frameworks and I think we will go for AngularJS 2 but our biggest concern is about Angular 2 maturity.
My question is is Angular2 stable and mature enough to be used?
JUNE 30
RC4 Now Available
Today we’re happy to announce that we are shipping Angular 2.0.0-rc.4.
We are a Belgium based WebDev company building (for bigger clients) SPA / WebAPPS using Angular. Angular2 had been in beta quite some time already - since we personally don't like 'betas' to go in production (our development), we also don't like soo much 'RC - release condidates' versions. Often glitches / issues can arise. We are still waiting to make the full switch - but personally I'm quite sure Google RC's are safe :).
Is Angular2 stable & mature enough - YES IMO!!!!
We are just following our internal company policy for 'live' applications not to use RC / BETA dependencies.

I'm learning angular 1, however, angular 2 is in Beta and can be released soon.
Question.
Start a website with angular 1 and then I upgrade to angular 2?or beginning make angular 2 with typescript?.
I am in doubt what to do, I do not know if I start with angular 1 or already invest in angular 2
on his twitter angular, put a new update on angular 2
Thanks.
The two are completely different. So, it depends on your propose.
If your website cannot has any bugs, you probably should use ng1.
If your site can have some bugs sometimes, you should use ng2.
Why?
Ng1 will have google support until at least 2018, so, dont be afraid that your site wont be up to date.
Ng2 is the future, using modern technologies and the new ECS features. Totaly different from ng1, so almost everything that you lear in ng1 wont be used in developing ng2 apps.
You must think about what you are looking after: knowledgement or a strong and stable tool. Ng1 is strong and stable, Ng2 is the future...

With Angular 2.0 being an alpha and a production release coming up soon, would you start a new project in 1.0, dart or 2.0 today?
Is Angular 2.0 production ready yet?
Angular 1.x is the best option to go with and if you follow the upgrade cycle you will be able to migrate to Angular 2 eventually (that's the idea anyway).
"The theme of 1.5 will be supporting integration with Angular 2." - http://angularjs.blogspot.co.uk/2015/03/announcements-from-ng-conf-were.html
My expectation is that 2.0 is still in a state of flux to a degree.
I'm not sure I would look at Dart unless you have a specific market. Angular 1.x covers the most bases and has plenty of resources to help you out should you get stuck or need more information.
** This is OLD advice now **
I would stick with 1.x for now.
But, that's based on my needs and my customers needs.
Angular 2 targets evergreen browsers and for the enterprise we will still have the 'old browser' issue.
Angular 1 will be around for sometime.
If you are doing a green field dev and your go live lands when 2.0 lands and you want to target evergreen browsers then I would go 2
