The Why's and How's of Typescript

Alfred Cepeda, a local Senior Frontend Developer, will be speaking on all things Typescript.

He'll be covering:

• The immediate benefits to using Typescript, such as IntelliJ support, static analysis, transpilation.
• What types are, how duck typing can be harmful and how a formal Type system improves code maintainability
• How formal types lead into thinking about and employing design patterns
• How Typescript is used with Vue and Angular
• How to use Typescript when your library of choice doesn't have Typescript support

After Alfred's presentation we'll open the floor for lightning talks. Share something you worked on during lockdown, something you're proud of, something you've learned, something you're working on now, etc.
