Overview of this book

<p><span id="description" class="sugar_field">Writing large applications in JavaScript is a challenge. TypeScript brings JavaScript down to Earth by providing optional static typing and future JavaScript features today. It gives the developer instant feedback on the code they are writing in order to catch mistakes earlier in the development process.</span></p> <p><span id="description" class="sugar_field">In this video course, you will put in place all TypeScript code to have the basics of the application running by starting the project from scratch, creating the structures and files needed and stitching the code all together with modules. You will also learn how to use third-party code not written in TypeScript. Finally, this volume shows how to enhance your build process in particular with Node and Gulp, and then, how to debug the application.</span></p> <h2><span class="sugar_field">Style and Appraoch</span></h2> <p><span class="sugar_field"><span id="trade_selling_points_c" class="sugar_field">A fast-paced guide that will take you on a journey through the various new features of TypeScript, with the help of real-world, practical videos that show you how to dive right into web application development using TypeScript’s essential know-how!</span></span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
