Deep dive into Typescript

There are two big discussions in the world of programming. Tabs vs. Spaces and statically-typed languages vs dynamically-typed. TypeScript is Microsoft’s approach to add a stronger type system to JavaScript while making both camps happy. Let's not jump into the never-ending debate to what the better approach is, but instead let's take a deeper dive into what Typescript can do for you.

A developer story: Upgrade a legacy app to Angular with Angular CLI

Angular CLI is a powerful and very convenient tool to get startet with Angular. With almost zero configuration you’ve got a complete eco system to develop, test and ship Angular apps. You want all that goodness but there’s also this AngularJS-App in production that generates customer value and cannot be replaced with a big bang?
That happens to be the case at a mobile.de project André (https://twitter.com/andrebauerBln) is working for. All upgrade tutorials say, that you should integrate the new Angular code in your AngularJS app - but then, all that sweet CLI tooling is gone.

Or is it?

In this talk, André (https://twitter.com/andrebauerBln) tells his story about upgrading a real world production AngularJS app to Angular using the CLI and the pitfalls he found on the way.
