THanks.

I am trying to learn Anguluar urgently to fill a gap
As a .Net Full stack developer.

Should I jump into Angular 2 or try and do both
1.5 and 2?

Difficult questions you ask.

Angular 1.5 is a bridging version - it includes components which is the basis for 2. Angular 2 requires you learn typescript as well.

I am doing both at the moment. I started with 1.1 and went to 1.5 but at the same time I have been keeping track of 2 waiting for it to stablise - which I believe it has.

Here is the main advantage of using 2 - because it is Typescript based it allows for much more structured development. JavaScript is not a good language for developing large applications in - because of its loose typing and leniency toward coding omissions - the larger the code base the more difficult it becomes to manage.

This is where Typescript makes a big difference. It bring types and with MS Code you gain a whole bunch of advantages as the editor is aware of your code and makes refactoring and other such processes a lot easier.

From that perspective I would push Angular 2 over 1.5.
