| TypeScript is JavaScript supercharged! Its productivity-enhancing
| features, such as optional static typing, enhanced IDE support,
| and auto-complete, make this open-source JavaScript extension a
| popular tool with web developers building feature-rich
| applications. In the video course Introduction to TypeScript,
| experienced technical trainer Tamas Piros teaches you TypeScript
| basics like data types, generics, typings, and debugging. You'll
| also explore how TypeScript integrates with the Angular framework,
| which was built using TypeScript. By the end of this visual
| journey, you'll have the skills and knowledge to apply TypeScript
| to your next web project.

| about the subject

| Building on the familiar JavaScript syntax and structures,
| TypeScript provides a strong type system and inline error
| flagging. With the precision types added to your code, you'll more
| easily take advantage of best practices like code refactoring and
| type annotations. Since TypeScript compiles to clean and simple
| JavaScript code, you can confidently run your TypeScript apps on
| any browser. TypeScript is fully interoperable with all JavaScript
| libraries, so new and evolving JavaScript features are at your
| fingertips.

| about the video

| Introduction to TypeScript teaches you everything you need to know
| to get started writing awesome web apps with TypeScript. First,
| you'll review the relevant ECMAScript foundations that will
| enhance your first steps down the TypeScript road. Then, after
| setting up your programming environment, you'll explore primitive
| data types like Boolean, numbers, and strings, as well as non-
| primitive data types like arrays, tuples, and enums. Your next
| stop will be object-oriented programming concepts including
| interfaces, classes, access modifiers, and abstract methods.
| As you work through this course, you'll discover generics and how
| to use them, and progress further into typings, including how to
| apply them to third-party libraries. You'll also learn to
| efficiently transpile TypeScript to JavaScript with and without
| the open-source module bundler Webpack. With the 45 comprehensive
| videos in this course, you'll have a rock-solid foundation and a
| collection of instantly-useful skills for building strong, safe,
| web apps!
