TypeScript Quickly
by Yakov Fain
-
TypeScript is JavaScript with an important upgrade! By adding a strong type system to JavaScript, TypeScript can help you eliminate entire categories of runtime errors. In TypeScript Quickly, you’ll learn to build rock-solid apps through practical examples and hands-on projects under the expert instruction of experienced web developers Yakov Fain and Anton Moiseev.
About the technology
Strong typing can eliminate nearly all errors caused by unanticipated data values. With TypeScript, an enhanced version of JavaScript, you can specify types and type annotations so your code is easier to read and far less likely to fail at runtime. And because the core of TypeScript is standard JavaScript, it runs on all major browsers and can be used with frameworks like Angular, Vue, and React.
About the book
TypeScript Quickly teaches you to exploit the benefits of types in browser-based and standalone applications. In this practical guide, you’ll build a fascinating blockchain service app that takes you through a range of type-sensitive programming techniques. As you go, you’ll also pick up valuable techniques for object-oriented programming with classes, interfaces, and advanced features such as decorators and conditional types.
Angular Development with Typescript
by Yakov Fain and Anton Moiseev
-
This practical book covers real-world development concerns like state management, data and views, user interaction with forms, and communicating with servers, as well as testing and deploying your applications. This new edition has been fully revised to cover the latest Angular CLI along with current best practices and updates to Angular 5.
Angular Development with Typescript, Second Edition is an intermediate-level tutorial that introduces Angular and TypeScript to developers comfortable with building web applications using other frameworks and tools. You'll start by exploring what makes Angular different by building an online auction app. As you move through the chapters, you'll explore TypeScript as you learn to write type-aware classes, interfaces, generics, and more.
Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications.
Angular 2 Development with TypeScript
by Yakov Fain and Anton Moiseev
-
Angular 2 is a JavaScript-based development platform for building dynamic, interactive web applications, SPAs, and mobile apps. Angular applications can be built with JavaScript or TypeScript. TypeScript offers great IDE support and the TypeScript compiler helps coders quickly find and fix errors. TypeScript feels familiar, much like using ES6 with the same standard and third-party libraries, idioms, and tools. TypeScript supports classes, modules, annotations, and lazy loading and minimizes the amount of code for supporting the framework's life cycle, letting developers focus on writing the application code.
Angular 2 Development with Typescript teaches the reader Angular 2, while it also teaches TypeScript and how to take advantage of its benefits. This hands-on book begins with an overview of Angular 2 architecture and an introduction to the online auction application that will be developed throughout the book. It teaches TypeScript and how to write classes, interfaces, and generics, as well as how to transpile TypeScript code into today's JavaScript that can be deployed in all Web browsers. More topics include data and views, user interaction with forms, and communicating with servers. Finally, the book shows how to test and deploy Angular 2 applications.
Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications.
