Why TypeScript?
JavaScript

Overview

TypeScript is a type-checked superset of JavaScript that benefits medium-sized to complex JavaScript projects. Why would you want to learn a new language, instead of another JavaScript framework? You have all this existing JavaScript code, so how can you adopt something new without throwing the old stuff out?

This session is about the benefits of using TypeScript on top of JavaScript in your projects, and demonstrate step by step ways of migrating an existing JavaScript project to TypeScript. We will dive into code generated by the compiler and look at resources and tools that make working in TypeScript a pleasurable experience.
