Since we are yet to see the first Angular2 release (almost there, but not yet); most Angular2 third-party resources may not provide the most up to date information, so the best place to learn Angular right now is really the official Angular documentation i.e. https://angular.io/ , because it is updated quite often.

1. If you are looking for a book to learn in a sequential way then ng-book is a good option. ng-book is updated regularly however it is not free. https://www.ng-book.com/2/#features

2. New blog posts are also a great way to learn about certain Angular topics. Examples:

2(a): http://blog.thoughtram.io/categories/angular-2/

2(b): http://angularjs.blogspot.com/ (Has both Angular 1.x and 2.x articles, written by Angular core developers)

3. Learning by observing:

3(a): material2 is a library, being developed by the Angular team itself, that is based on Angular2 and is frequently updated to use the latest Angular2 version (currently RC5). I refer to the material2 source code to learn the best way to write my own Angular2 app and custom components: https://github.com/angular/material2/tree/master/src/lib

+1 for official documentation at angular.io I have been working on a new project using ng2 during my time off over the past week. That documentation is very extensive
egghead.io videos are pretty good too
Pluralsight has a couple of classes such as: https://app.pluralsight.com/library/courses/play-by-play-ang...
http://angularclass.com has courses on Angular 2
