What you'll learn

  • Set up and configure a TypeScript project from scratch
  • Understand and use TypeScript's type system effectively
  • Write and call typed functions with confidence

TypeScript is more than just a superset of JavaScript...it's a powerful tool that helps you write cleaner, more predictable code.

Whether you’re just starting out in web development or looking to tighten up your JavaScript skills, TypeScript can give you the structure and clarity your code has been missing.

You’ll start with the basics - types, variables, and functions - and quickly move into more practical topics like arrays, control flow, loops, and modular code. Every concept is broken down clearly, with hands-on examples to help it stick.

By the end, you’ll not only understand how TypeScript works, you’ll know how to use it to build better, more reliable projects from day one.
