Overview of this book

Are you are looking for a better, more efficient, and more powerful way of building front-end web applications? Well, look no further, you have come to the right place! This book comprehensively integrates Angular version 4 into your tool belt, then runs you through all the new options you now have on hand for your web apps without bogging you down. The frameworks, tools, and libraries mentioned here will make your work productive and minimize the friction usually associated with building server-side web applications. Starting off with building blocks of Angular version 4, we gradually move into integrating TypeScript and ES6. You will get confident in building single page applications and using Angular for prototyping components.

Preface

What is TypeScript?


TypeScript is an open source programming language developed and maintained by Microsoft. It is a superset of JavaScript, and facilitates writing object-oriented programming. It should be compiled with JavaScript to run on any browser.

TypeScript provides the greatest tooling and advanced autocompletion, navigation, and refactoring. It is used to develop the JavaScript application for the client side and server side. With classes, modules, and interfaces, we can build robust components using TypeScript.

The main advantage it provides over JavaScript is that it enables compile time type checking for errors. Unexpected runtime errors can be avoided due to casting issues. Also, it provides syntactic sugar for writing object-oriented programming.
