TypeScript Revealed is a quick 100-page guide to Anders Hejlsberg's
new take on JavaScript. With this brief, fast-paced introduction to
TypeScript, .NET, Web and Windows 8 application developers who are
already familiar with JavaScript will easily get up to speed with
TypeScript and decide whether or not to start incorporating it into
their own development.
TypeScript is 'JavaScript for Application-scale development'; a superset
of JavaScript that brings to it an additional object-oriented-like
syntax familiar to .NET programmers that compiles down into simple,
clean JavaScript that any browser can run today. It's also tied to the
next version of the JavaScript standard, which means that TypeScript
will continue to evolve over time to keep in step with that standard and
with the capabilities of the engines that will execute JavaScript
applications.
If you are a .NET developer, Web designer or developer, or a programmer
with a keen interest in scalable applications, TypeScript Revealed is
a great way to get started with the language, learn how it compiles into
JavaScript, and how easy it is to learn from a .NET/Java developer's
perspective.
- Takes you through the language features in Typescript additional to
those in JavaScript
- Describes the tooling and community support for TypeScript development
- Discusses how TypeScript can be included in ASP.NET, Windows 8, and
