TypeScript 101

Are you writing large scale JavaScript applications and wish you could have static checking, symbol-based navigation, statement completion, and code refactoring? Are you an experienced C# or Java programmer but you are uncomfortable with JavaScript’s dynamic nature and wish for classes and typing? If yes, then TypeScript may be for you.

TypeScript is a new open source language that provides support for building enterprise scale JavaScript applications. It is a strict superset of JavaScript, and adds optional static typing and class-based object-oriented programming. TypeScript compiles to clean and simple JavaScript code which runs on any browser, in Node.js, or in any other ES3-compatible environment. This session will cover all of the great features of TypeScript including classes, inheritance, interfaces, enums and more!
