### Angular2 Starter Plunker - Typescript - RC.0

A simple plunker demonstrating Angular2 usage:
- Uses SystemJS + TypeScript to compile on the fly
- Includes binding, directives, http, pipes, and DI usage.

For opening

System.config({
  //use typescript for compilation
  transpiler: 'typescript',
  //typescript compiler options
  typescriptOptions: {
    emitDecoratorMetadata: true
  },
  paths: {
    'npm:': 'https://unpkg.com/'
  },
  //map tells the System loader where to look for things
  map: {
    
    'app': './src',
