Introduction to TypeScript

Why learn TypeScript

There are three main reasons on why a front-end developer would learn typescript:

1. Confidence:

   Errors are dramatically reduced by TypeScript, which checks the code at compile time, before it even gets deployed.

2. Productivity

   Even though writing code with TypeScript demands more time, TypeScript offers a set of features to make your life as developer easier. Auto-complete, refactoring capabilities, immediate error checking are a few of the ones we can mention

3. Employability:

   TypeScript is considered "table stakes" by many companies, even if it's listed in the job description.

Using TypeScript is a way to train a developer brain to think like a Senior Developer.

The main goal of using TypeScript is not solve problems, but to prevent and avoid running into possible runtimer errors. Keep in mind that TypeScript won't prevent logical errors. It main job on a codebase is to prevent type errors.
