You’re probably doing something wrong if you write JavaScript for a living in 2017 and haven’t yet tried TypeScript. Whether you’re writing a back-end, front-end or a mobile app — and whether you’re using jQuery, React, Angular, Vue or your favourite framework-du-jour — TypeScript can significantly improve your development experience with its incredible tooling and refactoring support that can help you catch bugs as you type and bring sanity to managing large codebases.In this session, I’ll take you through the amazing world of TypeScript’s language features and its rich out-of-the-box IDE affordances such as cross-referencing and auto-completion, experiences that developers working with traditional statically-typed languages take for granted. I’ll also show you how all the latest ES2015/16/17 features are natively available in TypeScript with a greatly simplified configuration compared to Babel’s and how you can take advantage of static typing to auto-generate a nice documentation for your project.
