Course Description

In this TypeScript Intermediate course, you will learn the intermediate features and functionality of TypeScript, a programming language that is strongly typed and built upon JavaScript. Learning TypeScript will let you build large-scale and complex applications that need to rely on being strong-typed, object-oriented, and compiled.

‏TypeScript is a programming language that extends the functionality of JavaScript by introducing strong typing, object-oriented programming concepts, and compilation. TypeScript is designed to provide improved tooling at any scale, and developers consider it an upgraded version of JavaScript. One of TypeScript's primary advantages is its data type system, which enables early error detection and improves code reliability. By introducing static type checking during development, TypeScript helps identify potential runtime errors before they occur, making it easier to build robust and maintainable software. In this course we’ll cover some of the more intermediate typescript techniques and topics including classes and inheritance, generics, decorators, advanced types, and software design patterns.

What You'll Learn

Understand advanced types in TypeScript, including tuple types, intersection types, discriminated type unions, type guards, and typecasting
Work with classes and inheritance, using constructors and functions within a class
Identify and apply generics through generic functions, generic classes, generic arrays, and constraining a generic type
Understand TypeScript decorators, including decorator factories, property decorators, and class decorators
Apply software design patterns across creational (Singleton, Prototype, Factory, Builder), structural (Facade, Proxy), and behavioral (Iterator, Mediator, Observer, State) categories
Use the spread operator to work with TypeScript code
