TypeScript: JavaScript’s Safety Harness

Free Event, but seats are limited to 30!

TypeScript was introduced to the world in 2012 by Microsoft. Designed by Anders Hejlsberg who created Turbo Pascal, Delphi, and is the lead architect of the C# programming language, TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript that provides optional static types and classic object-oriented principles to the language. Designed to keep pace with the rapidly evolving JavaScript “ECMAScript” specification, TypeScript is a way to future-proof applications by leveraging cutting edge features in current browsers that may not support them yet. This talk introduces TypeScript through a series of hands on experiments. Jeremy will share his insights based on years of developing enterprise grade web applications with large teams leveraging TypeScript and why it is a “must know” language for the modern web developer.
