The #nameInput isn't necessary in this example because you're using @ViewChild with the class. I'd omit it so that people don't mistakenly get the impression that a @ViewChild name has to match some template variable name.

You're right, I used the ViewChild incorrectly. What I wanted to write was instead:
@ViewChild('nameInput') nameInput: MdInput;
to that this sample still works when multiple md-input are present in the template.
Do you agree?

```

```ts
export class MyComponent implements OnInit {
@ViewChild('nameInput') nameInput: MdInput;

ngOnInit() {
this.nameInput.focus();
}
}
```
