November 2017 - TypeScript: Making JavaScript Tolerable

Details

Presentation:

Are you a web developer? If you answered “yes”, how many hours of your life have you wasted tracking down JavaScript errors at runtime? Of those times, how many times has it been due to an undefined member or a result of a typo? Join me as I detail why TypeScript will your next language of choice!

In the early 1990's JavaScript was born and since then, JavaScript has become one of the most popular programming languages of all time. TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript and makes JavaScript programming tolerable. Let me show you why you should be taking TypeScript more seriously.
