Wrocław TypeScript #1

Hello, Wrocław! It's time we talked about TypeScript.

We are excited to announce our first event. Join us on Wednesday the 30th and meet the community.

We will start by addressing the common myths about TypeScript and its ecosystem. Then, Piotr Pietrzak will explain why and how to use TypeScript in your React apps.

After the primary talks, 3 lightning talks will be presented. We will discover how conditional types can be used to create a type-safe REST API definition, how to develop your own Visual Studio Code extensions, and how the tryMax library eases the pain of working with errors in cloud computing.
