Learn TypeScript the Fun Way

Learning TypeScript is already interesting and useful for our careers. Why not make it fun too?

For me, the most entertaining way to learn a new programming language is to make a small game. It's a great way to get familiar with the syntax and tools, and you get something worth showing as a result.

Throughout this book, we will create 6 small games, each designed to apply and combine everything you have learned at each level.

Why Should You Learn TypeScript?

TypeScript is one of the most popular technologies among developers these days, as we can see in the last Stack Overflow Survey. Why? Because it’s incredibly versatile, has amazing features, and helps developers reach their goals fast without compromising quality.
