Introduction
Any programmer working with a dynamically typed language will tell you how hard it is to scale to more lines of code and more engineers. That is why Facebook, Google, and Microsoft invented gradual static type layers for their dynamically typed JavaScript and Python code. This practical book shows you how one such type layer, TypeScript, is unique among them: it makes programming fun with its powerful static type system.
In this course, you will:
- Start with the basics: Learn about TypeScript’s different types and type operators, including what they are for and how they are used.
- Explore advanced topics: Understand TypeScript’s sophisticated type system, including how to safely handle errors and build asynchronous programs
- Dive in hands-on: Use TypeScript with your favorite frontend and backend frameworks, migrate your existing JavaScript project to TypeScript, and run your TypeScript application in production
Course Prerequisite
