What is TypeScript?

Here is a quote from the official TypeScript page:

If you haven t heard of TypeScript yet, it s a language that builds on JavaScript by adding syntax for static types. Tools like the TypeScript compiler just erase those types, leaving you with clean readable JavaScript that you can run anywhere; but those types are there to be type–checked! Types make your intentions explicit, and tools can read and understand them to catch errors before you even run your code. By checking your types, TypeScript can catch errors like typos, logic errors, and more! Beyond catching errors, TypeScript also uses types to power editor toolings like accurate code completion, go–to–definition, and renaming. You can learn more on the TypeScript website.

The course has the following topics

Installation of TypeScript, NodeJS, and VSCode

Type Annotations for Number, String, Boolean, Arrays, Tuples, etc.
