BFFs TypeScript & JavaScript

Explore TypeScript's powerful features in this 48-minute conference talk from GOTO Chicago 2014. Discover how TypeScript enhances JavaScript development with classes, interfaces, and modules, enabling static checking, symbol-based navigation, statement completion, and code refactoring. Learn about TypeScript's compatibility with plain JavaScript and its open-source nature. Dive into practical examples covering types, the TypeScript compiler, Visual Studio integration, arrays, sorting, lambda expressions, classes, modules, and code generation. Gain insights into using TypeScript with popular libraries and frameworks like Node.js and Angular. Perfect for former C++, Java, or C# developers transitioning to JavaScript who want to leverage familiar object-oriented programming concepts and robust development practices.
