Intro to TypeScript- Part 2

This is Part 2 of the "Intro to TypeScript" series. If you missed Part 1, no big deal. There's still plenty you can pick up and should definitely still make it out!

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.

Thanks,
Justin Wilkerson

Food and beverages will not be provided but there are plenty of great places to eat within walking distance. You are also welcome to bring food with you.
LaunchPad is located in downtown Huntington.

There is usually plenty of free parking in the rear parking lot as well as rear access to the building. Look for a glass door with the LaunchPad sign next to the Bon Bons Chocolatier and take the elevator up to the second floor.

If the front door is locked, please go to the rear door as it should always be unlocked. If you are still not able to get in, please call or text 631-432-4309.

We look forward to seeing you there!
