Introduction to TypeScript with Josh Goldberg
In this video, we'll be walking through some of the basics of #TypeScript with our very own Josh Goldberg. We'll try to answer some of the following questions:
- - What does TypeScript add (or not add) to JavaScript?
- - What's a type system?
- - How does a type system work with code?
- - How do we declare types for TypeScript?
TypeScript is an open-source language and a superset of JavaScript — meaning that its code compiles into JavaScript. TypeScript was created after developers sought a better way to find errors in JavaScript constructs, as the language lacked type checking.
