FS104: Introduction to TypeScript (P)

About Course

This course provides a comprehensive exploration of TypeScript, a powerful superset of JavaScript that brings strong typing, advanced tooling, and enhanced code reliability to modern application development. Designed for learners with a foundation in JavaScript, the course introduces the core principles of TypeScript and progressively advances toward complex concepts such as generics, decorators, and integration with frameworks and build tools.

Through a mix of theory and hands-on programming, learners will gain the skills to write robust, maintainable, and scalable applications using TypeScript across both frontend and backend environments.
