I have a webapp that im creating right now that uses CodeIgniter for the backend, and this is just version 1.0, which were just trying to get out so we can have a version of it out there.
We plan on starting the work on 2.0 pretty much right when 1.0 is released, and it will use Laravel for the backend, and AngularJS for the front end.
1.0 should be done in about 2 or 3 months, and we plan on taking anywhere from 5 to 8 months working on 2.0, so with this timeline, would you guys agree that AngularJS 2.0 is the best route to take? Ive had a few people suggest that I create 2.0 with angular 1, then whenever I create a 3.0, use AngularJS 2.0 for that. But I dont really want to plan that far ahead.
Also, I should note that I have pretty much NO Angular experience. The languages/frameworks im most experienced in is Perl/PHP/MySQL/CodeIgniter/Wordpress/jQuery, so I think I can pretty easily pick up AngularJS, I just dont want to spend time learning Angular 1.0 when 2.0 is right around the corner, id like to release my app 2.0 with the latest version of everything.
Also, the app im creating wont be using NodeJS, it will run on a basic LAMP stack. I want to redo my justinhyland.com website on AngularJS 2.0 just to get my foot in the door and get started with Angular 2.0. I cant find any decent tutorials for AngularJS 2.0 that doesnt revolve around NodeJS and NPM.
So, questions...
- Do you agree that with my timeline above (Starting 2.0 in about 3 months, releasing it in about a year) that AngularJS 2.0 is the best way to go?
- Anyone have any good tutorials to recommend for AngularJS2 that DOESNT use NodeJS?
Thanks!

I can't answer most of your questions, but I can say that, having used Angular 1 for a few small projects, and now using Angular 2 alpha 35 with TypeScript, that going with Angular 2 from the start, if you are able to, is definitely the right way to go, because most Angular 1 code has to be totally rewritten to move to Angular 2.
I'm also not sure how much of this has to do with TypeScript, but the general syntax of the TypeScript/JavaScript coding is now much nicer than before as well, resulting in cleaner code.

As for Tutorials, just google Angular 2 with various other terms. You'll come up with various incomplete tutorials that might be frustrating to use at the moment, but if you really want to get started now, they do provide a starting point. For instance:
and a number of others I've found that I don't have links for at the moment.
