TypeScript Revealed is a quick
100-page guide to Anders Hejlsberg's new take on
JavaScript. With this brief, fast-paced
introduction to TypeScript, .NET, Web and Windows 8
application developers who are already familiar with
JavaScript will easily get up to speed with TypeScript
and decide whether or not to start incorporating it into
their own development.
TypeScript is ‘JavaScript
for Application-scale development’; a superset of
JavaScript that brings to it an additional
object-oriented-like syntax familiar to .NET programmers
that compiles down into simple, clean JavaScript that
any browser can run today. It’s also tied to the next
version of the JavaScript standard, which means that
TypeScript will continue to evolve over time to keep in
step with that standard and with the capabilities of the
engines that will execute JavaScript
applications.
If you are a .NET developer,
Web designer or developer, or a programmer with a keen
interest in scalable applications,
TypeScript
Revealed is a great way to get started with the
language, learn how it compiles into JavaScript, and how
easy it is to learn from a .NET/Java developer's
perspective.
- Takes you through the language features in
Typescript additional to those in JavaScript
- Describes the tooling and community support for
TypeScript development
- Discusses how TypeScript can be included in
ASP.NET, Windows 8, and node.js application
development projects.
What you’ll learn
- Why you should care about TypeScript
- What it does and what it doesn't do
- The current toolset and levels of support
- The new syntax features of TypeScript
- How to build your own TypeScript declaration files
- How to incorporate TypeScript into your projects
Who this book is for
TypeScript
Revealed is aimed at the early adopter

one place.
