Intro to TypeScript- Part 1

This is Part 1 of the "Intro to TypeScript" series.

TypeScript is a typed superset of JavaScript that compiles to plain JavaScript. It provides types, interfaces, and a host of other tools to help you write better, less error-prone, JavaScript code.

Over the next two months, we will be covering the basics of TypeScript, including the latest features of TypeScript 2 & 3. This will be a two-part series (February and March).

Here is a general outline of the agenda, however, may change a bit leading up to the event:

PART 1 (February 27th, 2019)-
Installing TypeScript and setup
TypeScript compiler basics and settings
TypeScript Types and Type Inference

PART 2 (March 27th, 2019)-
Interfaces
Generics
Modules
Namespaces
Decorators
Classes in TypeScript

*Note: We may also extend this series to a third month (April), in which we would cover using TypeScript with React. If this is something you are interested in, please let me know on Slack, on Meetup, or in person at one of the events.

I’m excited about finally covering TypeScript (long overdue) and look forward to seeing you all on February 27th!

Thanks,
Justin Wilkerson
