title: How to run AngularJS2 application without Node server
body: <p>Is it possible to run an Angular 2 application in browser without using NodeJS as a server. I am not sure, but if i understand correctly the newest browsers are able to compile/"understand" the TypeScript code so i don't have to use any third part js lib to compile it into plain javascript?</p>

    backend REST API using Ruby On Rails, without using Rails's page rendering, sessions etc..</p>

  <p>I am little confused about it how does Angular2 work/run behind the scenes... How i should configure my Angular2 application to use it without NodeJS? </p>
