[GoodReads Summary](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18405331-typescript-succinctly):
|
|
|
|
|
The extensive adoption of JavaScript for application development, and the
|
|
|
|
|
ability to use HTML and JavaScript to create Windows Store apps, has made
|
|
|
|
|
JavaScript a vital part of the Windows development ecosystem. Microsoft has
|
|
|
|
|
done extensive work to make JavaScript easier to use. Microsoft's TypeScript
|
|
|
|
|
extends many familiar features of .NET programming to JavaScript. With
|
|
|
|
|
TypeScript Succinctly by Steve Fenton, you will learn how TypeScript provides
|
|
|
|
|
optional static typing and classes to JavaScript development, how to create
|
|
|
|
|
and load modules, and how to work with existing JavaScript libraries through
|
|
|
|
|
ambient declarations. TypeScript is even significantly integrated with Visual
|
|
|
|
|
Studio to provide the autocompletion and type checking you are most
|
|
|
|
|
comfortable with.

Without jumping into too much detail, the book gives a little introduction to
|
|
|
|
|
TypeScript, without the whole bullshit other books like to add. So it is that
|
|
|
|
|
I probably highlighted the whole thing.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Don't expect to go deep into TypeScript and all its nuances, though.
