Intro to Typescript with Doug Stevenson

TypeScript is regularly voted one of the most admired languages in developer polls. Many developers are eager to use it as a replacement for JavaScript since it provides a sophisticated typing system that helps find bugs and improve code readability.

In this talk, we’ll discuss some of the history and features of TypeScript and how they can improve your developer experience anywhere JavaScript is commonly used, both frontend and backend.

Note: Some knowledge of JavaScript is helpful to make the most of this content.
