Module4 (Front-End Dev): not working in Internet Explorer 11

[hhubik]

Great tutorial! Thank you!. While going through Module 4 (Front-end dev), I notice that the demos in Exercise 2 don't work (most of the time) in IE 11 (Windows 10 x64) even though they work fine in Mozilla Firefox.

The stack:

I have seen a PR related to this on the Angular2 GitHub. The recommendation was to use an "IE Shim". Being new to this, I am not sure how/where to incorporated the shim in the tutorial code.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks!
