Learn the essentials and more of TypeScript, a popular superset of the JavaScript language that adds support for static typing. TypeScript combines the typing features of C# or Java with the flexibility of JavaScript, reducing typing errors and providing an easier path to JavaScript development. Author Adam Freeman explains how to get the most from TypeScript 4 in this second edition of his best-selling book. He begins by describing the TypeScript language and the benefits it offers and then shows you how to use TypeScript in real-world scenarios, including development with the DOM API, and popular frameworks such as Angular and React. He starts from the nuts-and-bolts and builds up to the most advanced and sophisticated features. Each topic is covered clearly and concisely, and is packed with the details you need to be effective. The most important features are given a no-nonsense, in-depth treatment and chapters include common problems and teach you how to avoid them.

Even though I've been using TypeScript for a number of years in Angular, Vue and even React, I felt like I needed some leveling up to say I was a Pro.
This book delivered the skills and then some. It brought you along slowly introducing you to the things you need in order to level up your skills.
One thing I could have done without was the last 6 chapters that went through adding TypeScript to Angular (which it is the default), Vue and React. I feel like these could be shorter or even removed in favor a few paragraphs perhaps.
