The TypeScript Workshop
By :

In this chapter, we looked at the world before TypeScript and described the problems and issues that TypeScript was actually designed to solve. We had a brief overview of how TypeScript operates under the hood, got ourselves introduced to the tsc
compiler, and learned how we can control it using the tsconfig.json
file.
We familiarized ourselves with the differences between TypeScript and JavaScript and saw how TypeScript infers the types from the values that we provide. We learned how different primitive types are treated in TypeScript, and finally, we learned how to create our own types to structure the building blocks of a large-scale, enterprise-level web application. Equipped with the fundamentals, you are now in a position to delve further into TypeScript, with the next chapter teaching you about declaration files.
