Getting Started With Typescript

"TypeScript is a JavaScript-superset that supports static typing and compiles down to plain JavaScript. TypeScript gives you compile-time errors, great tooling support and the latest JavaScript features like classes, arrow functions and modules that you can compile down to a JavaScript version that is supported in today's browsers. Typescript is open source and maintained by Microsoft and C# inventor Anders Hejlsberg. Google has written its popular Single Page Application Framework Angular with TypeScript. Join Thomas in this book to learn the TypeScript-language. Set up your environment and get up to speed with basic types, interfaces, classes, functions, modules, decorators and learn how to build web-apps with Angular and TypeScript."--Back cover.
