An Introduction to Typescript

TypeScript, often labeled as a superset of JavaScript, is a language that has gained momentum recently.Based on the above, common explanation, you might think that TypeScript is an easy language to learn; however it comes with quite a lot of features that a developer must become familiar with first in order to be able to successfully create applications using TypeScript.

TypeScript is a language that has become increasingly popular with the growth of frameworks such as Angular2+ (and there are more and more frontend frameworks that implement TypeScript or provide you with TypeScript-specific implementations).

This course intends to lay down a foundation on which you can start to write TypeScript code. It is very important to understand these fundamentals; otherwise, looking at code written in Angular2+ and TypeScript is going to be very confusing.
