To overcome the flaws and limitations of base JavaScript, many alternate programming languages mushroomed, including CoffeeScript, TypeScript, Dart, and recently Flow, that compile to JavaScript, in the end. All these languages are trying to solve challenges such as encapsulation, scoping, and type inference, among others. Some of them have been there for a while and some are pretty new. CoffeeScript is very similar to Python and relies on concise syntax and lambda expressions. Both CoffeeScript and Dart try to encapsulate JavaScript by introducing a new language which would then convert to JavaScript. The primary difference between these languages and TypeScript is that TypeScript does not introduce new syntax but builds on top of JavaScript. If you are a JavaScript developer, it's very easy to start with TypeScript but that's not the same...

Overview of this book
The TypeScript language, compiler, and open source development toolset brings JavaScript development up to the enterprise level. It allows you to use ES5, ES6, and ES7 JavaScript language features today, including classes, interfaces, generics, modules, and more. Its simple typing syntax enables building large, robust applications using object-oriented techniques and industry-standard design principles.
This book aims at teaching you how to get up and running with TypeScript development in the most practical way possible. Taking you through two exciting projects built from scratch, you will learn the basics of TypeScript, before progressing to functions, generics, promises, and callbacks. Then, you’ll get to implement object-oriented programming as well as optimize your applications with effective memory management. You’ll also learn to test and secure your applications, before deploying them. Starting with a basic SPA built using Angular, you will progress on to building, maybe, a Chat application or a cool application. You’ll also learn how to use NativeScript to build a cool mobile application. Each of these applications with be explained in detail, allowing you to grasp the concepts fast.
By the end of this book, you will have not only built two amazing projects but you will also have the skills necessary to take your development to the next level.
