TypeScript Resources

Overview

TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript.  It improves upon JavaScript by adding type safety, namespaces, and scope.  You can actually rename a .js JavaScript file to .ts and it will function the same.  TypeScript will transpile into JavaScript.  TypeScript is created by the great Anders Hejlsberg who created TurboPascal, Delphi, and C#.  You will find it feels similar to C#, although the syntax is different, a lot of the concepts and keywords are the same.
