Welcome to Learning TypeScript

- [Narrator] These days, JavaScript seems to run everywhere from the browser to your refrigerator and everywhere in between. However, as we build larger and increasingly complex applications, the dynamic nature of JavaScripts often means that we have to wait until we run the application to discover the bugs that we've introduced, making our applications more fragile and difficult to maintain. Enter TypeScript, a typed super set of the JavaScript language that enhances JavaScript's syntax to add static typing, allowing the tools you're already using to not only find errors in your code before you execute it, but also provide productivity enhancements such as variable and property renaming that you can actually trust. All of this results in more readable and more maintainable code, allowing you to spend more time being productive, and less time in the debugger. Hi, I'm Jess Chadwick and as a web developer for over 20 years, I've got a lot of experience with a variety of languages and technologies, but I have to say, TypeScript is one of my all-time favorites and I'm excited to show you what it can do. In this LinkedIn Learning course, I'll show you how TypeScript works and how you can start using it in your existing JavaScript applications as soon as you finish the course. Now, we've got a lot to cover so let's get started.
