Samenvatting:

In “TypeScript in 50 Lessons”, Stefan Baumgartner breaks down the quirks of TypeScript into short, manageable lessons.

Written for seasoned and not-so-seasoned developers who know enough JavaScript to be dangerous, or want to dive deeper into TypeScript. With code walkthroughs, hands-on examples and common gotchas, that’s a book you might want to keep close.

You’ll learn:

• TypeScript concepts, and how to make sense of them all.
• TypeScript tooling, needed to use the language effectively.
• How to get most out of TypeScript without learning a new language.
