TypeScript Basics 5 - Setting up TypeScript

Let's set up our development environment to start using TypeScript. We'll set up NodeJS runtime, the code editor Visual Studio Code, and the Typescript compiler tsc

Learn about the basics of TypeScript. Understand how types work, how to use arrays and tuples, how to declare classes and interfaces. Understand concepts of type erasure, duck typing, enums, generics and modules. Create a development workflow and configure the TypeScript compiler to your needs. And watch as I build an end-to-end TypeScript application from scratch.

I recommend following him and setting up typescript as told as you need node and vs for any webDev,
but you could also use the playground on the official TypeScript website to just practice along with him and to get a better understanding!
