Beginning TypeScript
As the complexity and scale of our apps forever increases, TypeScript has risen in popularity as people seek the reassurances of type safety in their applications. Major frameworks such as Vue have rewritten their entire code bases in TypeScript.
Nonetheless, there is a cost associated with adopting it. Teams must learn how to use a new set of tooling, think about their code in a different way, and learn concepts that may be foreign to them. This series aims to ease the transition to TypeScript. It assumes basic knowledge of JavaScript but otherwise serves as an introduction to the most common types that will enable you to build real applications in TypeScript.
