WHYTYPESCRIPT MATTERS?
Enhance code quality with static typing
Catch errors before JavaScript runtime
Improves developer experience with robust tooling
Seamlessly integrates with existing JavaScript projects
Scales effectively for large applications
TypeScript is the premier tool used by advanced developers to keep their JavaScript code structured and clean.
Installation? Covered. TypeScript Configuration files? We got it. Building a real project in pure TypeScript? Its here!
You'll dive deep into TypeScript, a powerful superset of JavaScript that adds static types to your code.
Mastering TypeScript can be challenging, but this course is designed to make it straightforward and accessible. You'll learn how to leverage TypeScript's features to enhance your development process and optimize your applications.
WHYTYPESCRIPT?
Understanding Type Annotations and Static Typing: TypeScript introduces static typing to JavaScript, allowing developers to specify types for variables, function parameters, and return values. This helps catch errors during development rather than at runtime, improving code quality and maintainability.
TypeScript is gaining popularity in the development community for its ability to catch errors early and improve code quality. This course is the most comprehensive TypeScript course available online, focusing on practical applications and real-world scenarios.
COURSEHIGHLIGHTS
Understand why TypeScript is self-hosted, meaning it compiles itself and runs on its own type system. Did you know that TypeScript is self-hosted, meaning it is written in TypeScript itself? This allows it to leverage its own features during development and compilation, demonstrating the language's capabilities and providing insights into its design philosophy.
Explore the different ways to install TypeScript, such as npm and via NuGet.
Learn about the LIB and BIN folders that are created when you install TypeScript. When you install TypeScript, it creates LIB and BIN folders. The LIB folder contains reusable libraries, while the BIN folder holds executable files. Knowing the purpose of these folders helps in managing dependencies and understanding the structure of your TypeScript environment
Discover the various ways you can use TypeScript, from writing server-side applications to building client-side web apps.
This course is not just an opportunity; it's a gateway to becoming an indispensable asset in your development team.
WHATYOUWILLLEARN
Installation: Most developers think the only way to use TypeScript is via npm. You’ll learn the various ways to use and install TypeScript.
Understanding LIB and BIN Folders: Gain insights into the inner workings of the TypeScript compiler (tsc) by exploring the LIB and BIN folders, and the meaning of the Shebang line. This knowledge will empower you to understand how the compiler operates when you run it within your terminal.
Self-Hosted and Bootstrapping Concepts: Did you know that TypeScript is unique in that it is self-hosted, meaning that the TypeScript compiler itself is written in TypeScript? This self-hosted nature allows for a more consistent and powerful development experience, as the language can leverage its own features for its implementation. Understanding this concept is crucial for grasping how TypeScript operates under the hood.
Node.js for Transpilation: Understand why Node.js is the most popular choice for transpiling TypeScript code into JavaScript.
Mastering tsconfig.json: Get hands-on experience with the tsconfig.json file, using the tsc init command, and learn how to create TypeScript configurations from scratch.
Using the --watch Command: Implement the --watch command in your projects while setting up ES6 modules for a modern development environment.
Advanced Type Features: Delve into type aliases, generics, conditional types, event types, DOM casting, enums, arrays, tuples, and objects—equipping you with advanced type manipulation skills.
Functional vs. Class Syntax: Explore both functional approaches and the newer class syntax in TypeScript, including access modifiers to create public properties on objects.
The Future of TypeScript: Discover what companies like Svelte and Drizzle are doing with TypeScript and why Turbo 8 decided to drop it. Plus, get a brief overview of JSDoc and its role as TypeScript's "little brother."
WHYTHISCOURSE?
While TypeScript can seem daunting at first, this course will guide you through each concept with clarity. You'll find that mastering TypeScript requires just a bit of focus and practice. With clear explanations and practical examples, you'll quickly grasp how to apply TypeScript effectively in your projects.
I design courses that I would want to take myself, ensuring every topic is covered in detail with supporting pictures and examples. You'll learn the background of each feature and understand where and how to apply them to solve real-world problems effectively.
