Overview of this book

Today, full-stack development is the name of the game. Developers who can build complete solutions, including both backend and frontend products, are in great demand in the industry, hence being able to do so a desirable skill. However, embarking on the path to becoming a modern full-stack developer can be overwhelmingly difficult, so the key purpose of this book is to simplify and ease the process. This comprehensive guide will take you through the journey of becoming a full-stack developer in the realm of the web and .NET. It begins by implementing data-oriented RESTful APIs, leveraging ASP.NET Core and Entity Framework. Afterward, it describes the web development field, including its history and future horizons. Then, you’ll build webbased Single-Page Applications (SPAs) by learning about numerous popular technologies, namely TypeScript, Angular, React, and Vue. After that, you’ll learn about additional related concerns involving deployment, hosting, and monitoring by leveraging the cloud; specifically, Azure. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to build, deploy, and monitor cloud-based, data-oriented, RESTful APIs, as well as modern web apps, using the most popular frameworks and technologies.

TypeScript


TypeScript is a programming language for large web applications. It adds new static typing features to JavaScript, as well as implementing upcoming features of the JavaScript language to enable developers to use them today.

Browsers are not familiar with TypeScript, so you must compile TypeScript files into JavaScript before deploying them. To do this, you will need to install TypeScript compiler (tsc), the TypeScript compiler.

Installing TypeScript

To install TypeScript, follow the next steps:

  1. Click Start | All Programs | Windows System | Command Prompt
  2. Write the following command and pressEnter:
npm install typescript -g

 

 

  1. This will start the TypeScript installation
  2. After a few seconds, the installation will end, and TypeScript will be installed on your machine
  3. To test whether or not TypeScript is installed correctly, write the following command into Command Prompt and press Enter:
tsc --version 

 If the installed version is displayed, then TypeScript has been installed correctly
