The course is designed for beginners and intermediate-level professionals who want to learn TypeScript and use it for building applications.
What is TypeScript?
TypeScript is an open-source object-oriented programming language developed and maintained by Microsoft. It’s a superset of JavaScript.
TypeScript is designed for the development of large applications and transpiler to JavaScript.
Why TypeScript?
As we already know that TypeScript transpiles to JavaScript as browsers can only understand JavaScript.
So you might be thinking that what’s the need of adding an extra layer if the executable code is going to be JavaScript itself?
There are many benefits of using TypeScript, listing down a few of them.
- TypeScript integrates well with React, Vue, and Angular.
- TypeScript is a statically typed language and this makes the code easier to refactor. Statically typed programming languages are those in
which the type of a variable is known at compile-time instead of at run-time. - TypeScript is easier to read and access. Helps in code maintainability.
