TypeScript for JavaScript users

During this training, we will learn to program in TypeScript. In this 1-day ABIS course, we will discuss the elements which TypeScript added/changed with respect to JavaScript.

To be able to run TypeScript applications, we will introduce the set up of TypeScript with Node.js and npm.

TypeScript builds on top of JavaScript. It introduces stronger data typing and more complete OO features.

In this course we will study the differences and similarities with JavaScript.

After attending this course, participants will:

• be able to configure and run TypeScript applications
• know the syntax of TypeScript
• have learned the OO features of TypeScript
• be prepared to work with frameworks like Angular or React.

Intended for

This course is intended for anyone who already knows JavaScript and wants to learn TypeScript.

Backgroud

Experience with JavaScript programming is required (see course JavaScript Programming). Knowledge of OO concepts is a nice plus (see course OO concepts and techniques).

You can test yourself to see if you have the required background by filling out the online selftest "JavaScript Programming" and the on-line self-test "OO concepts".
