In the TypeScript course, we will learn about the language as part of Google's tools specialization. The TypeScript course is taught as part of Google's tools specialization in the Full Stack course.
TypeScript is a language developed by Microsoft and is inspired by JavaScript. In the course, we will cover the fundamentals of this language and provide the foundational skills every beginner programmer needs. We will understand why TypeScript is particularly used for building large WEB applications, learn how to identify potential issues, and master creating, expanding, and utilizing all types of code.
TypeScript is a free and open-source programming language. It is designed for developing complex systems and can compile to JavaScript. Its main goal is to address the limitations of JavaScript by adding features like types, modules, classes, and more. It's important to highlight that TypeScript is an extension of JavaScript and includes its syntax and commands.
Some of the goals of TypeScript that we will cover include:
- Static identification of structures that can lead to errors.
- TypeScript provides an organized mechanism for code writing.
- Perhaps the primary goal is that it serves as a cross-platform tool. It can be installed on any operating system and is an open-source system (under the Apache license).
