Writing large applications in JavaScript is a challenge! TypeScript brings JavaScript down to earth by providing optional static typing and future JavaScript features today. TypeScript gives the developer instant feedback on the code they are writing in order to catch mistakes earlier in the development process. If you’re a developer looking to take advantage of dozens of features from the next generations of JavaScript without introducing a complex workflow to your project, then this Course is for you! 

This comprehensive 4-in-1 course is an A+ guide to building full-fledged, production-ready applications with TypeScript. To begin with, you’ll see how TypeScript helps you write maintainable applications and set up a cross-platform development environment for TypeScript. Moving further, you’ll learn about creational, structural, and behavioral design patterns to start using an IoC container in your TypeScript apps to increase extensibility, testability, and maintainability. Finally, you’ll develop a deeper understanding of the TypeScript type system and learn how to use it more effectively in the applications to build enterprise-ready, industrial-strength web applications.

Towards the end of this course, you'll write better code with TypeScript’s language features. Build enterprise-ready, industrial-strength web applications.

Contents and Overview

This training program includes 4 complete courses, carefully chosen to give you the most comprehensive training possible.

The first course, Introduction to TypeScript, covers building practical, maintainable and scalable applications using TypeScript. This course will guide you from a beginner’s level knowledge in JavaScript to being able to successfully start creating applications in TypeScript. Then we move onto the basics of TypeScript such as setting up your development environment and learning basic language features by building a simple utility application and extending it with more features. Finally, we explore some practical use cases, such as converting plain-old JavaScript to TypeScript and you’ll see how we tackle any issues faced such as external library references, dynamic typing, and more. By the end of the course, the viewer will be equipped to explain why TypeScript is advantageous for you and your team while also having a foundational knowledge of language features such as the type system, classes, interfaces, modules, and generics.

The second course, Hands-On Web Development with TypeScript 3, covers building production-grade web applications by structuring applications and leveraging TypeScript's strong typing features in your JavaScript Web applications! This course is a perfect guide to learning the basics of TypeScript and creating simple web apps. As you know, writing large applications in JavaScript is a challenge. This course will help you overcome the difficulties and build web apps with ease. You'll learn to compile ordinary JavaScript so that the code you write in TypeScript will run in any browser that runs JavaScript. Next, you'll start to build an application and learn to use TypeScript to write well structured, type-safe, and scalable web front-end code. As you progress, you'll learn how to receive instant feedback on the code that you're writing in order to catch mistakes earlier in the development process. By the end of the course, you'll be confident enough to build the applications you want and need.

The third course, Design Patterns in TypeScript, covers writing cleaner code and enhance your development skills with TypeScript design patterns. This course starts by exploring SOLID principles to write clean code. Then you will create new objects and the instance of classes with creational design Patterns. Next, you will utilize dependency injection with InversifyJS to create testable, maintainable, and extensible code. Moving on, you will explore structural design patterns to better express the relationships between different application entities. Lastly, you will investigate behavioral patterns to add flow to your applications and add levels of communication between your entities.

The fourth course, Mastering TypeScript - Second Edition, covers writing better code with TypeScript’s language features. This course will take you on a journey through interacting with the type system to working efficiently with more advanced features of the language. It will strengthen your knowledge of TypeScript and help you see the benefits it brings. We use an example-based approach that walks you through a restaurant ordering sample application. In addition, we go one step further by showing you how to automate custom checks on a code base and how to close statically typed gaps.

Towards the end of this course, you'll write better code with TypeScript’s language features. Build enterprise-ready, industrial-strength web applications.
