These are the releases we will use:

• Visual Studio 2017 version 15.4.4
• Microsoft .NET Core SDK 2.0.3
• TypeScript 2.4.2
• NuGet Package Manager 4.1.0
• NodeJS 6.9.0
• Angular 5.0.2 final release

We strongly suggest using the same version used within this book, or newer, at your own risk! Jokes aside, if you prefer to use a different version, that's perfectly fine, as long as you will take responsibility if something doesn't work, just like we said a paragraph ago.
