Thanks for the tip about "Microsoft Dev Collective"

I was expecting to find out if I really need to compile that ts manually, and how to make it compile automatically.

James, this video is good to understand the typescript for beginners. Perfect!!!

Thank you so much for this video. It was a big help!

I love JavaScript and all it's quirks. However I'm glad that TypeScript exists and hope to see wider adoption this year. My experience is the opposite of yours since I started coding in JavaScript 😂

I learned PHP way back and Java but it never sparked as much interest. Web development is so much more exciting today—but could use less boilerplate downloading the entire internet when making a new project (looking at you React 👀).

Apologies for the long comment, congrats on your sponsorship! 🎉

completely unintended, but this was a better tutorial of typescript in general than anything else out there, even in late 2019

sir while compiling, this error :-
tsc : File cannot be loaded because running scripts is disabled on this system. For more information, see
about_Execution_Policies at
At line:1 char:1
+ tsc hello-world.ts

Runtime error. I made the misread&mistake of running
*node app.ts*
Need to run
*node app.js*

Just getting started with Typescript and VSC, so far so good.

'tsc' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

By the way. i typed npm install -g typescript
I came acrross such a error, is there anyone to help me ?

i have a problem on a large react project, the tsserver uses a lot of memory and slowing down vscode

In most of the TS projects out there, the project has a .vscode folder which in turn has launch.json and tasks.json. Not sure how they are created. VS Code is very different compared to Visual Studio in creating projects and solutions. Is there a site or link which describes how to create a TS project in VS Code?

It would be better to separate the Typescript language features from the setup thematically.
It would also have been good to explain the setup for debugging, so the complete setup. Is it best to debug the javascript code or is it also possible in the .ts file?

I think most people will meet some error when run command: tsc
how to fixed:
Run visual studio as administrator then run command:
Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
