TypeScript Fundamentals Course Released on Pluralsight.com
Over the past few months I’ve have been digging into TypeScript and learning the ins and outs of the language. If you’re new to TypeScript, it’s a language that provides a way to write modular code that includes support for types (string, number, bool, etc.) and compiles down to JavaScript. It’s definitely interesting especially if you’d like to catch issues upfront rather than after the fact.

I hear some developers complaining about Web development and all of the script libraries being released but I personally think it provides us with a lot of choice and flexibility, not to mention enhanced productivity. I’d rather have the flexibility of choosing from a variety of scripts as opposed to only a handful.
