Course Code: TS

Duration: 2 days

 
 
 
 

TypeScript Course Overview

TypeScript is a static type checker for JavaScript. Where JavaScript code is prone to failures at runtime, TypeScript flags errors at compile time. Angular applications are written in TypeScript by default, and TypeScript is supported by both React and Vue.

This course deals with all of the core TypeScript features including type inference, explicit typing, primitive types, object types, union types, aliases, interfaces, literal types, narrowing, function types, extending types, generics, type manipulation, and classes.

Exercises and examples are used throughout the course to give practical hands-on experience with the techniques covered.

Course Objectives

This course aims to enable the delegate to build web applications using TypeScript. That is, the delegate ought to be able to write using TypeScript, that which they previously wrote using JavaScript, and in so doing produce code which is better and more robust.

Who will the Course Benefit?

This course is designed for JavaScript developers who are required to build or maintain applications written in TypeScript.

Skills Gained

The delegate will learn and acquire skills as follows:

  • Exploit TypeScript to produce better, more robust code
  • Define custom types that exploit all of the primitive types, array types, object types, union types, aliases, interfaces, and literal types
  • Implement the right type of narrowing for any given situation
  • Determine when a function type is needed and construct it correctly using generics where appropriate
  • Exploit object type features including modifiers, index signatures, extensions and intersections, generics, and tuple types
  • Derive new types from existing types
  • Code classes that exploit TypeScript features including access modifiers, interfaces, static members, generics, arrow functions, and abstractions
  • Define and describe TypeScript best practices

Course Reviews

Thank you for your time Stuart. I thoroughly enjoyed the course. Very informative and covered all the key parts of typescript to get me going. I have some upcoming work on repos which include typescript and I feel far more equipped and confident to tackle these tickets. Look forward to seeing you on a future course!

Rhys - Government - August 2024

Stuart is very professional and knowledgeable in the topic at hand. Course content is concisely broken down and explained with no stone left unturned. I learned something new and will use this knowledge in my everyday role.

Sean - Government - July 2024

Another excellent course from Stu. As usual he went beyond the nuts and bolts of the topic and actually inspired delegates to become better engineers in general. He always demonstrates a huge depth of knowledge, producing complex examples on the fly with now hesitation. Easily the best tutor I've had for these sorts of courses

Christopher - Government

Very good course with the course tutor being very knowledgeable and making the course very informative and helpful. Stuart is a great tutor and has a great ability to give a lot of information and knowledge without it feeling too much. I gained a lot of very useful information during the 2 day course very good instructor.

Craig - Lead Software Engineer - Government

Stuart was great as always. Delivery spot on, length of course spot on. Really enjoyed, thanks.

Alex - SDET - Government

Stuart has been great and engaging as always - learnt a lot about typescript with very little previous experience
