Summary

TypeScript is one of the most popular scripting languages in respect to JavaScript-based code bases. At its very core, it brings static typing and assists tremendously with maintainability and productivity.

In this chapter, we covered the fundamentals of TypeScript, including types, interfaces, classes, modules, and decorators. TypeScript advances at a steady pace and shows great promise for using it in large projects. It has more features that weren't addressed in this chapter, such as generics, mapped types, abstract classes, project references, and much more.

Now that you have learned TypeScript, we can proceed and learn about modern UI frameworks, starting with Angular.
