Summary Starting with an introduction to the language and its features, the book discusses some of the major features of TypeScript in depth, from working with the type system through object-orientation to understanding the runtime and the TypeScript compiler. The book then covers some of the factors to be considered when running a TypeScript application in the browser, including interacting with the DOM, making asynchronous requests, and working with useful browser APIs, followed by a demonstration of server-side TypeScript using the popular Node.js framework. Topics covered include: key TypeScript language features; how to work with the TypeScript type system; how to transfer object-orientation skills to TypeScript; useful JavaScript patterns and features that work well with TypeScript; how to consume existing JavaScript libraries in TypeScript program; how to run TypeScript in a web browser or on a server. -- Edited summary from book
