A Quick Start Tutorial on #TypeScript

Begin Your Journey of #TypeScript Today

I have been busy in creating a quick tutorial on TypeScript on my personal blog. The main idea of that series of post is to make newcomers comfortable with this language. You can always follow the complete detailed tutorial by following the link shared below.

TypeScript Tutorial Chapter 1: Course Introduction

Update: Links added Inheritance and Module Chapters

Context

When you are leaning towards the new programming language, the first thing you probably look for a quick start (at least I do). Not every thing comes with a manual; here but in the case of TypeScript it comes with a detailed guide. Ah … that can be the problem too. For a newcomer that can be overwhelming and soon he can get lost or get bored with that. I picked this topic with the intention to handpick the topics and context of each post so that, you get a start … a proper one.

Approach

There are so many things to cover if you really want to understand TypeScript completely, but as a beginner, you probably should be happy with the glimpse of the core features and key pointers of the languages. This series of posts are based on an approach targeting the people who have basic understanding of the #JavaScript language and are aware of Object Oriented Programming. The complete course is divided into multiple posts, each capturing the individual core capability of TypeScript in brief. Below are the core topics and related links to their respective posts.

there are a few posts pending while writing this post here on medium. I will keep the links updated as and when they are made available.

1. Course Introduction
2. Setting up TypeScript IDE
3. Types in TypeScript
4. Functions and Parameters
5. Interfaces
6. Classes
7. Inheritance
8. Modules
9. Using Typings (coming up next …)
10. Real-world Usage and Practices

The End Result

I have a sneak peak of the outcome of the 10th chapter recently published for raising the level of curiosity. For you here it is … a beautiful ToDo application (Better ToDo):

No! that’s not the end of story. All these post just scratches the surface and only help you to stand up where you can say “I am learning TypeScript”. There are a lot of things to learn in TypeScript and you have to put further efforts for that. I promise that this tutorial will kill the fear of water before you actually learn swimming.

Hope you will gain something out of it and begin to crave for more.

Happy Learning!
