TypeScript for Developers

Strongly Typed JavaScript

$70

Description

TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript that adds static typing, providing the benefits of type safety and improving the maintainability of large-scale applications. In this course, you will learn the basics of TypeScript, including how to define types, interfaces, and classes. You’ll also explore advanced TypeScript features such as generics, decorators, and type inference. By the end of the course, you’ll be equipped with the skills to write more robust and scalable JavaScript applications, ensuring fewer runtime errors and improved developer productivity.

Course Content

Introduction to TypeScript

Overview of TypeScript and its benefits over JavaScript, and setting up a TypeScript development environment.

Learn about the core data types in TypeScript such as string, number, boolean, any, void, and null.

Understand how to declare variables and define arrays and tuples with strict type checks.

Learn how to add type annotations to function parameters and return values to ensure type safety.

Learn how to define custom types using interfaces and type aliases to enforce structure in your data.

Work with object-oriented programming concepts like classes, inheritance, and access modifiers in TypeScript.

Understand how to use generics to build reusable, type-safe components and functions.

Explore TypeScript’s advanced features like enums and decorators to add more functionality and clarity to your code.

Learn how to organize your code into modules and namespaces to keep your application scalable and maintainable.

Understand how TypeScript infers types and how to use type guards to narrow types in conditional statements.

Best practices for handling errors and debugging TypeScript code, including using try-catch blocks.

 

Learn how to compile TypeScript code into JavaScript and set up your project for smooth development and deployment.

Explore how to use TypeScript in modern frameworks like React and Node.js to enhance the development experience.

Apply your knowledge by building a full-featured TypeScript application that incorporates the concepts learned throughout the course.

Requirements

  • Strong understanding of JavaScript (preferably after completing the JavaScript or fullstack development courses).

  • Basic knowledge of OOP concepts (optional but helpful).

  • A computer with internet access.

  • Code editor: Visual Studio Code (recommended).

  • Node.js and npm installed on your system (instructions provided).

What you'll learn

  • Improve code quality with static typing: Learn how TypeScript can catch errors at compile time, reducing runtime issues and increasing reliability.

  • Enhance developer productivity: TypeScript provides enhanced tooling, autocompletion, and editor support, making you more efficient in writing code.

  • Build scalable applications: Use TypeScript’s features to manage complex codebases and build large-scale applications that are easy to maintain.

  • Increase team collaboration: TypeScript’s strict typing ensures that teams can collaborate effectively and catch type-related errors early in the development process.

  • Prepare for TypeScript in frameworks: Learn how TypeScript works in modern frameworks like React and Node.js, and make your fullstack applications more robust.

  • Stay ahead in the industry: TypeScript is becoming the standard for many large-scale JavaScript projects, and mastering it will boost your career prospects.
