Write better code with TypeScript's language features
What you'll learn
Compile the sample application and analyze its overall structure
Understand TypeScript's type system and how to use it more effectively
Utilize the information from static types to enforce strictness and reduce mistakes
Broaden your knowledge of ES6 classes and how they relate to class-like pre-ES6 patterns
Interact efficiently with the type system for better structured code
Familiarize yourself with using jаvascript libraries in TypeScript
Improve your code with TypeScript language features
Use advanced experimental ES6, ES7, and ES8 features
Requirements
jаvascript developer aiming to learn TypeScript
Description
Writing large applications in jаvascript is a challenge. TypeScript brings jаvascript down to earth by providing optional static typing and future jаvascript features today. TypeScript gives the developer instant feedback on the code they are writing in order to catch mistakes earlier in the development process. Since it is transpiled to jаvascript, developers can take advantage of future jаvascript language features today.
This course will take you on a journey through interacting with the type system to working efficiently with more advanced features of the language. It will strengthen your knowledge of TypeScript and help you see the benefits it brings. We use an example-based approach that walks you through a restaurant ordering sample application. In addition, we go one step further by showing you how to automate custom checks on a code base and how to close statically typed gaps.
