To run both server

# run server in advance on port 8080
npm install # installs node dependencies, runs TypesScript compiler and Gulp SASS routine
npm start # creates node server on localhost:3000 and opens default browser via browserSync, Gulp watches SASS changes as daemon

Pros

• Scalable architecture with component-as-feature code decomposition
• Adaptive markup, even for tables
• Angular 2
• Typescript brings all features of ECMAScript 2015 and adds typisation
• Shadow DOM based components, isolated from
• Cacheble and cancelable asynchronous and event-based data flow via ReactJS
• Automated build via npm and Gulp

Cons

• Angular 2 is still RC
• High entry level (TypesScript, Angular 2, RxJS, Gulp, SASS, Bootstrap)
• Overwhelming amount of node dependencies and build process
• Potential specific environment requirements when deploy on prod
• Heavy JS assets (2mb before it's cached, could be optimized)
• Lack of test coverage (partially compensated by TypesScript compiler)
