TypeScript Training
In one day, move from JavaScript to TypeScript: install and configure the compiler, type your code, and use interfaces, classes, modules, generics, decorators and union types.
TypeScript adds static typing to JavaScript. It catches many errors before the code runs, improves auto-completion in the editor and makes large applications easier to maintain. It is widely used with frameworks such as Angular, React, Vue.js and Node.js.
In one day, you install TypeScript, compile your first program and learn the language step by step: types, functions, classes, interfaces, modules, enumerations, generics, iterators, decorators and union types. Each concept is shown with a short demonstration, followed by an exercise.

Frequently asked questions about the TypeScript Training course
Do I need to know JavaScript?
Yes. TypeScript is built on JavaScript, so the course assumes you are comfortable with its syntax, functions and objects. If not, take our JavaScript introductory training first.
Does TypeScript replace JavaScript?
No. TypeScript code is compiled to standard JavaScript, which runs in any browser or in Node.js. TypeScript adds type checking and tooling during development.
Which tools are used?
The current version of TypeScript with Node.js and Visual Studio Code, which offers built-in support for TypeScript.
Is a framework such as Angular or React covered?
No. The course focuses on the TypeScript language itself, which is the foundation for using it with any framework.
