TypeScript for developers

TypeScript is one of the most loved languages of the moment. How can you learn it properly and go beyond basic examples?<div><br></div><div><span style="font-size: 1rem;">Typescript has reinvented the way we code JavaScript, first of all by adding type safety, but also with many other great features like access modifiers, generics, interfaces, classes, decorators and many others.</span></div><div><br></div><div>Typescript combines the flexibility of modern JavaScript with the power of strongly typed languages like Java or C#, making it a great choice for your full stack app.</div><div><br></div><div>Welcome to my course, in which you will learn basic and advanced Typescript and NodeJs by practice. We will not waste much time on presentations or reading the documentation, which you can do yourself, no course needed.
