TypeScript Basics Nabendu Biswas

Jumpstart your working knowledge of Typescript with a quick, practical guide and start using this open source, object orientated language with confidence. This book highlights how Typescript works with JavaScript and its frameworks, giving it greater functionality, especially for larger enterprise projects.

The book will start with the basic fundamentals like how to run a TypeScript file and compile it to JavaScript as well as understand how it sits within the full ecosystem alongside React, Redux, Angular and Webpack. Using a practical project-led approach, you'll go through key concepts and aspects of Typescript such as compilers, arrays, classes and interfaces. Once you complete the fundamental basics, you'll move onto more complex topics like advanced types.

You'll also learn about Decorators, which are a must have feature in Angular. The book then presents a small To-do list project followed by a pretty larger 'Drag and Drop' project. You'll see how to divide the drag and drop project into small manageable modules and learn to make the project more efficient with Webpack. Lastly, you'll create two awesome projects. The biggest use case of TypeScript is with React, so you'll create a party app with React first and then create a final project with React and Redux using TypeScript.

Typescript Basics reveals how this JavaScript extension is currently the fastest growing language for web development with more and more developers and companies looking to utilize and adopt it within their current workflows and projects.
