Want to ship JavaScript with fewer errors? Want to write it in a language that is self-documenting, easy to debug, and well supported in your favorite editors? Yes you do! In this session, we'll show TypeScript newbies how to code with this superset of JavaScript that compiles to plain JavaScript. Use modern JS features like async/await, describe your APIs with powerful types, and get your code autocompleting with style. Presented with Pearl Latteier.
