Angular 2: no se encontraron metadatos de NgModule

Soy nuevo en Angular 2 e intento seguir junto con un video tutorial que encontré. A pesar de seguir todos los pasos, Angular simplemente no funcionará; Obtuve el siguiente error:

compiler.umd.js:13854 Uncaught Error: No NgModule metadata found for 'App'.

y el componente no se carga en absoluto.

Aquí están mis archivos:

platformBrowserDynamic().bootstrapModule(AppModule);

@Component({

export class App {}

app.module.ts:

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'; 
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'; 
import { App } from './app'; 

@NgModule({ 
  imports: [BrowserModule], 
  declarations: [App], 
  bootstrap: [App]

export class AppModule{}; 

Gracias por tu tiempo.
