Video description
TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript that makes it possible for you to be more productive when you write JavaScript applications. It enjoys widespread popularity and is a favorite in the JavaScript developer’s community. Entry-level web developers with some JavaScript experience and an understanding of object-oriented languages (such as Java or C#) will find the TypeScript syntax easy to pick up. In this course, not only will you learn the syntax, you'll discover how TypeScript’s static typing, static code analyzer, and great IDE support can transform you into a more effective and efficient coder. You’ll look at classes and learn how inheritance works; you'll explore interfaces and discover why you’ll want to use them (even though you could achieve the same functionality with classes); and you’ll learn how to integrate other JavaScript libraries into your TypeScript jobs. Before starting the course, learners should load their machines with current versions of Node.js, the Chrome browser, and Visual Studio Code.
