TypeScript 1 In-depth
This course will help you learn all of the major language features in the latest versions of TypeScript.
What you'll learn
This course will begin with TypeScript basics such as the new syntax for variable declarations and progress through all of the major features of the language including arrow functions, interfaces, classes, modules, namespaces, and generics. Along the way, you'll learn not only the syntax, but also the benefits of the strong-typing support in TypeScript. TypeScript is an amazing language that compiles to JavaScript and is a perfect tool for building both client and server-side web applications.
