+# Typescript Basics
+ - JavaScript - managed by VOLUNTEERS 
+ - TypeScript enforces a structure to JavaScript
+ - Microsoft released in Oct 2012
+ - Superset of JavaScript 
+ - ECMAScript supports TypeScript, formalized im 2015
+ - Transpile as opposed to compile
+
+ # Features 
+  - Interfaces
+  - Namespaces
+  - Generics
+  - Abstract classes
+  - Data modifiers 
+  - Decorators - Not available on all browsers
+  - Readonly keyword
+  - Type utils
+  - Optionals
+  - Function overloading
+
+# TypeScript Types
+ - Primitive
+ - User Defined types
+ - Others are unknown, tuple
+
+# Get started - Commands tested on Apple Mac M1
+```node
+ npm install typescript
+ npx tsc -version
+
+ //Transpile into javascript
+ npx tsc ss.ts 
+
+ //Run javascript file
+ npx node ss
+
+ //get tsconfig.json
+ npx tsc --init 
+```
