About This Course

Boost your JavaScript projects with TypeScript: Learn all about core types, generics, TypeScript + React or Node & more!

Learn what TypeScript is, why it really is a powerful addition to JavaScript, what its features are and how to use it! Learn why TypeScript is amazing, how it improves your JavaScript code and how it helps you avoid nasty bugs and errors!

This course takes you from the very basics and its most important feature (types!) to the point where you're able to use TypeScript in any of your projects. ReactJS projects included!

As TypeScript is developed by Microsoft and strongly advertised and used by Angular 2+ (Google) and other popular libraries, it's here to stay. Indeed, TypeScript is one of the most popular web development languages you can learn these days!

Gain an edge today and be amongst the first to really understand TypeScript!

Learn how you can use TypeScript to bring modern JS features like destructuring, arrow functions or classes to any environment and codebase - even if it does not support those features yet!  Understand which types you may use and how you can build your own types. Learn how to write better code with types and with the many features offered by TypeScript!

But, in this course, we'll not stop after the basics! You will also learn about more advanced features (like decorators) and also how to set up workflows with  TypeScript. This includes a TypeScript-only workflow as well as a webpack workflow.

You'll also learn that you're not limited to Angular or plain JavaScript/ TypeScript projects. Instead, a complete module covers how you may use TypeScript with ReactJS and improve your React code with TypeScript as well.

Practice what you learn!

Watching videos is a great way to learn. And to a lot of students, it's the best way. If you also want to practice the things you learn, this course offers you more than that though. Because this course comes with plenty of exercises (and solutions, of course) in addition to all the high-quality learning videos.

So much Content!

I'm not a fan of these courses which teach you the basics and then leave you alone. Instead, in this course you'll get insights into:

  • Types and how to use them

  • How the TypeScript compiler works (and how you may configure it)

  • ES6 features with TypeScript

  • Classes in TypeScript

  • Namespaces and modules

  • Interfaces

  • Generics

  • Decorators

  • How to integrate Third-Party JavaScript libraries into your TypeScript projects

  • How to set up a TypeScript project with webpack

  • Or how to set up a plain-TypeScript workflow

  • How to use TypeScript together with ReactJS

  • How to use TypeScript together with Node/ Express

  • Real projects and use-cases!

  • And so much more!

  • Use TypeScript and its Features like Types, ES6 Support, Classes, Modules, Interfaces and much more in any of their Projects

  • Understand what TypeScript really is about and how it works

  • Why TypeScript offers a real advantage over vanilla JavaScript

Experience as (Web) DeveloperStarting out at the age of 12 I never stopped learning new programming skills and languages. Early I started creating websites for friends and just for fun as well. Besides web development I also explored Python and other non-web-only languages. This passion has since lasted and lead to my decision of working as a freelance web developer...

I've followed quite a few of your course on Udemy so far, and I very much like how structured that one is.

Modules are kept shorts and have stand-alone example. This is great because there is no overhead. You can easily go back or consult a topic after some time, you don't have to remember a whole project to get a refresher. This is proof that you can be intuitive, explanatory, and also dig deeper on certain concepts without losing/confusing the student.

A project is available later on to reinforce that knowledge and practice, which is exactly you'd want it to be. Great course.

This is very much unlike the nodeJS course (from which I dropped out at 50%). My issue on that one is that it's all built on a single project. This is 100's of concepts, use-cases, tools, all bundled up under one project, which become very hard to navigate to understand. If you paused the course for a few days/weeks, coming back to it is incredibly difficult, and the more is added, the harder is to wrap your head around certain aspects. There are no real module: each new knowledge is implemented into a bloated project, and if there is something you didn't understand quite right or are not comfortable with: too bad, you are stuck into it and it becomes very heard to follow along. I've hated the NodeJS for the opposite reasons I love this TypeScript one.

Courses should be like this: start clean to present features, examples, quizz, go a bit deeper, and introduce functionalities on simple examples first. Then at the end a smaller project to reinforce this knowledge and practice is the perfect way to conclude. Or even a couple of smaller projects.

TLDR: This is a course that is structured in an encouraging and engaging way for people to discover Typescript. The NodeJS one was not unfortunately, in my opinion.

A good way to learn Typescript if you already know JS and want to improve your code when developing. Everything is well explained and with many examples, which makes it even easier to follow along. I am very happy so far with the course! 100% recommended

The content of the class suddenly goes up too much. Never a beginner can keep up.
From section 9, the instructor only explains in words that it will be like this, then after coding it, it shows the completed screen later, but how can we know what the result of this coding is when we haven't looked inside the instructor's head while learning the lecture?

The course is excellent, and Max is a strong instructor. The projects are well-designed, each focusing on a specific topic with exposure to new libraries and APIs. However, some materials are outdated, which makes it frustrating to follow along with deprecated content.
