Angular 2 runs script for checking model stored values against displayed HTML values once per Javascript event cycle for whole application tree. If any value has changed on either side it replace the value to make them consistent. [(ngModel)]=”foo” is used as two-way binding attribute.
Question
What limits the number of two-way binding attributes in Angular 2?
Answer
Too many two-way binding attributes can cause performance concerns in application. Each data binding pushes an event in Javascript event loop messages que, and pushing too many messages can block event loop and browser window.

Can we automate porting Angular 1 code to Angular 2?
Answer
No, currently there is no such tool available. Porting Angular 1 code to Angular 2 code will include side by side manual conversion of Angular 1 directives to Angular 2 components because they are two different approaches to solve the same problem and hence two different frameworks.

Question
What are Observables in Angular2
Answer
Observables in Angular 2 are similar to promises but with major differences that make them better. Observables handle multiple values over time which makes them a good candidate for working with real-time data. Observables can also be cancelled and this gives a better control when working with in-flow of values from a stream. Observables is an ES7 feature which means you need to make use of an external library to use it today. For example, RxJS - https://github.com/Reactive-Extensions/RxJS.
