Understanding TypeScript - 2020 Edition [Video]

Most people know TypeScript from Angular 2+. It's the language you must use there, right? It's more than that! Learn what TypeScript is, why it really is a powerful addition to JavaScript, what its features are, and how to use it! And while doing so, also understand what you're doing in your Angular code. This course takes you from the very basics and its most important feature (Types!) to a point where you're able to use TypeScript in any of your projects—ReactJS projects included! As TypeScript is developed by Microsoft and used a lot by Angular 2+ (Google), it's here to stay. Gain an edge today and be amongst the first to really understand TypeScript! A Journey into the Future - As TypeScript code can be compiled to ES5, you'll be amazed by the many next-gen features you can start using today. ES6 features such as destructuring or arrow functions, decorators, generics and interfaces or modules—TypeScript has them all! In this course, we'll not stop at the basics. You will learn about more advanced features and how to set up workflows with TypeScript. This includes TypeScript-only workflows as well as workflows using Gulp or Webpack. You'll also learn that you're not limited to Angular 2+ or plain JavaScript/TypeScript projects. One complete module covers how to use TypeScript with ReactJS to benefit from its features, too. You'll practice what you learn. Watching videos is a great way to learn. And for a lot of students, it's the best way. If you also want to practice the things you learn, this course offers you exercises (and solutions) in many of the course modules. So much content! In this course, you'll get insights into: - Types and how to use them - How the TypeScript compiler works - ES6 features in TypeScript - Classes in TypeScript - Namespaces and modules - Interfaces, generics, and decorators - How to integrate third-party JavaScript libraries into your TypeScript projects - How to set up a TypeScript project with Webpack - Or how to set up a plain TypeScript workflow - How to use TypeScript together with ReactJS - How to use TypeScript together with Node/Express - Real projects and use cases!
