Java Script is everywhere, both as a pure language and in popular libraries like Angular, j Query and Knockout, but users of modern object-oriented languages like Java and C# often find Java Script frustrating to use and hard to extend to large-scale applications. Type Script is an innovative open source language from Microsoft that combines powerful language features and enhanced tooling support with the key attractions of Java Script as a flexible, dynamic language that can run in any browser and on any operating system. Pro Type Script tells you everything you need to know about this exciting new language and how to use it in your applications.
Starting with an introduction to the language and its features, the book takes you through some of the major features of Type Script in depth, from working with the type system through object-orientation to understanding the runtime and the Type Script compiler. The book then covers some of the factors you need to consider when running a Type Script 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 Type Script using the popular Node.js framework.
Because Type Script compiles to plain Java Script, exception handling, memory management and garbage collection can differ depending on where you run your program, so these topics get a chapter to themselves. You’ll also find out how to include popular Java Script frameworks in your applications, so you can combine the benefits of Type Script with some of the best Java Script code that’s already out there waiting to be used. The final chapter gives an overview of automated testing for Type Script applications.
Pro Type Script offers a balanced and practical guide to a language that will transform your experience of Java Script development.
