+# Angular Inheritance Sample (draft)
+
+The AOT Cookbook sample was the starting point.  
+This sample runs in both JIT and AOT
+
+With AOT you have to re-build after each change.
+With JIT you can develop on the fly as we usually do.
+
+## Inheritance experiments
+Look at `sub.component.ts` to see the experiments in metadata inheritance.
+
+
+## Building it
+
+The original source is in https://github.com/angular/angular.io/pull/3096 along with 
+tools and configs to build it in JIT and AOT.
+You'll need knowledge of the Angular docs sample development practices to do it.
+
+Commands to run:
+
+```
+# compile with AOT, then rollup. Noisy.
+npm run build:aot
+
+# start server and JIT/TS watching as usual
+npm start
+```
+The browser displays the JIT version (`index.html`) by default.
+You can tell by looking at the browser tab (it says "JIT:..."), in the console, and in the page header.
+
+To see the AOT version, put `index-aot.html` in the address bar.
+You can tell by looking at the browser tab (it says "AOT:..."), in the console, and in the page header.
+
+## Running it
+
+I like to have two console windows open:
+
+1. Running `npm start` (after once having run `npm run build:aot`)
+
+1. Where I periodically re-run either `npm run tsc` or `npm run build:aot` after a change that works in JIT
