TypeScript 2.0 - ES6, ES7 features, how to use TypeScript in Angular2 | Rocky Mountain Angular

TypeScript 2.0 is now in release candidate stage. TypeScript includes everything in JavaScript ES6 and ES7 and a lot more. Unlike other JavaScript languages like CoffeeScript, TypeScript is a strict superset of JavaScript. That means that developers who know JavaScript will already know how to write TypeScript. The additional features that TypeScript has are optional, but very powerful.

This talk by Geoff Filippi, starts with an overview of JavaScript ES6 and ES7 features. He introduces TypeScript for JavaScript developers and dives into the additional features of TypeScript. Finally, he shows you how to use TypeScript in an Angular 2 project, and explore the tooling support in VSCode and other IDEs.
