MSK TypeScript Bootcamp – Level 1

TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript developed at Microsoft by Anders Hejlsberg ( designer of C# ) in the year 2010 and open–sourced in 2012. TypeScript adds a handful of new features to JavaScript and takes it to the next level in modern web development.

There are a lot of advantages if you add TypeScript to your JavaScript–based projects like:

You can catch bugs errors during the development phase itself rather than runtime.

Debugging is much easier & you will have bug–free production code and feel safe.

With static type–checking, it becomes easier for you to spot errors and edge cases.

Saves a lot of developer’s time in fixing unidentifiable runtime bugs.

TypeScript adds advanced features like generics, modules & namespaces.

Your projects will be easily understandable by other developers.

Your project will have excellent developer experience ( DX ) and team velocity.

Helps you write less code than JavaScript & improves readability.

Source code documentation will be much better.

TypeScript code is easier to refactor and reliable. Hence easier to maintain.

Since JavaScript is a subset of TypeScript, you can use all JavaScript libraries.

You can incrementally upgrade your JavaScript files on the go.

TypeScript is a powerful tool for large applications
