Effective TypeScript: 62 Specific Ways to Improve Your TypeScript

TypeScript is a typed superset of JavaScript that has the ability to alleviate many of the problems that JavaScript is known for. However, TypeScript has its own learning curve, and understanding how to use it successfully might take time. This book walks you through 62 specific strategies to enhance your TypeScript use.

The book "Effective TypeScript: 62 Specific Ways to Improve Your TypeScript" is meant to be the "standard second book" on the subject. Effective TypeScript will benefit you the best if you have prior practical experience working with JavaScript and TypeScript. The author's purpose with this book is not to teach you TypeScript or JavaScript, but to assist you go from novice to expert. The items in this book do this by assisting you in developing mental models of how TypeScript and its ecosystem function, making you aware of pitfalls and traps to avoid, and directing you toward the most effective use of TypeScript's various possibilities. A reference book will explain the five methods a language allows you to perform X, but an Effective book will advise you which of those five to choose and why.

This book is largely concerned with the language itself, rather than frameworks or building tools. There are no examples of using React or Angular with TypeScript, or of configuring TypeScript to operate with webpack, Babel, or Rollup. This book's recommendations should be applicable to all TypeScript users.
