TypeScript Blackbook

Welcome

This book focus on how to get the most out of TypeScript with minimal effort.

To achieve that goal, following some coding styles is a good place to start.

However, just following what to do can only go so far. You need to know why should you write code in certain way, what are the trade-offs you are making, as well as the design and the limitations of the language itself, so that you have the right mindset and approach the problem and come to a solution effectively.

Therefore, this book covers more than just style guide and best practices.
