TypeScript 5 Fundamentals
This course will teach you all the fundamental features of the TypeScript programming language. You’ll learn how to use important language constructs and syntax, as well as how to use different compiler options and project configuration settings.
What you'll learn
TypeScript helps you create web applications that are easier to maintain and contain fewer bugs than traditional JavaScript applications. In this course, TypeScript 5 Fundamentals, you'll learn all of the major features of the language and develop the skills to begin working on your first TypeScript project. First, you'll explore the basic features of the language including type annotations, functions, interfaces, and classes. Next, you'll discover more advanced features such as generics, modules, and asynchronous programming techniques. Finally, you'll learn to use the TypeScript compiler and configure TypeScript projects using a tsconfig.json configuration file. When you finish this course, you'll have the skills and knowledge of TypeScript needed to build client and server-side web applications faster and with fewer errors.
