Book Description

By learning TypeScript, you can start writing cleaner, more readable code that’s easier to understand and less likely to contain bugs. What’s not to like?

It’s certainly an appealing prospect, but learning a new language can be challenging, and it’s not always easy to know where to begin. This book is the perfect place to start. It provides the ideal platform for JavaScript programmers to practice writing eloquent, productive TypeScript code.

You’ll quickly be up and running building functional websites, without having to wade through pages and pages of history and dull, dry fluff. Guided exercises clearly demonstrate how key concepts are used in the real world, and each chapter is rounded off with an activity that challenges you to apply your new knowledge in the context of a realistic scenario.

Whether you’re a hobbyist eager to get cracking on your next project, or a professional developer looking to unlock your next promotion, pick up a copy and make a start! Whatever your motivation, by the end of this book, you’ll have the confidence and understanding to make it happen with TypeScript.

Great tool for beginners and generally a great resource to have
Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2021
Verified Purchase
As someone who has only recently gotten into Web development this has been an excellent guide and resource to aid in my journey to master Web app development. It saves me from the slog of going through tones of documentation and the boring stuff that I've already learned and gets to the meat of things while at the same time providing me with the key concepts necessary to be proficient in typescript.

Comprehensive but approachable guide to TypeScript
Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2021
*The TypeScript Workshop* is some of the most comprehensive example-based guides for learning TypeScript I've come across. Beginning with fundamentals, its scope expands to cover idiomatic TypeScript patterns for usage with dependency injection, async/await, React and other important areas that JavaScript developers commonly work in. I thought the attention given to these sections was a very nice addition to the book and tremendously improved its worth.

The book specifically covers TypeScript 4.1.3, which is an important detail as the TypeScript project is under active development as it becomes an ever more integral part of the JavaScript ecosystem. If you are reading this review in the future and have specific interest in new features, be sure to check that those features existed prior to 4.1.3.

The organization of the chapters is intuitive and consistent. Each starts with a conceptual overview of the particular area of concern. They then flow into concrete examples complete with code snippets and granular explanations of the content and behavior of each. I appreciated that the use of language remained conversational and prosaic throughout and took a very "plain-English" approach to explaining the subject matter. If you get stuck on anything in this book, it won't be because of ambiguous explanations — the authors seem to have taken time and care in clearly communicating even the most complex concepts and examples the book covers.

I've gone through many programming books from various publishers and I'm always on the look out for broken code or buggy examples. The presence of these is very offputting to me and makes me feel like the editing process was not taken seriously and that I've wasted money on a substandard product. Not the case with this book. I was happy to see that a precisee replication of the example code did not fail to compile (unless the intend was to cause a failure for use as a didactic tool). I know that seems like this should be the default case for any programming book, but so often it is not. Basically, everything just worked.

One warning I would give to someone picking up this book as a means to casually learn TypeScript is that it will take time to get through. The book is very dense and comprehensive. It is not a casual read by any definition of casual. My recommendation is to pace yourself and set aside time each day to make progress on the exercises. This is the best way to approach books such as *The TypeScript Workshop*.

In all, I would say that I'm very pleased with the book.

Good book for Typescript beginners
Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2021
This book mostly avoids boring the reader with long boring explanation, but instead contains just the needed prerequisite explanations related to the topics covered in the chapter, and then follows up with good amount of well commented code which makes it easy to read and understand the concepts being illustrated. Make sure to follow the code from the links (redirected to github)

Apart from teaching typescript for beginners, this book can also be used to quickly refresh typescript knowledge after reading the book. As someone who has experience working on typescript projects, I would use this book as a way to quickly refresh my knowledge on typescript for the foreseeable future till the typescript covered in this book gets outdated.

If you are already well versed with javascript and Object Oriented Programming(OOP) and javascript, then you might find yourself thinking “well I already know that, cut to the chase already” in some places. But overall, it's a good read on learning typescript.

A Thorough Journey Into TypeScript
Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2021
This is not another TypeScript cheat sheet.

As usual with the "Workshop" line of Packtpub books, it's 100% practice, practice, practice with the needed theory kept to a minimum, although you will learn a lot of interesting concepts from that theory.

There are a lot of exercises (guided) and activities (solutions at the end of the book) to train yourself to master TypeScript.

I appreciate that the topics are not limited to beginner level (it is covered and goes far beyond), you will practice with:
- databases,
- REST APIs,
- design patterns like Dependency Injection (often not mentioned in many TypeScript books)
- mentions about the internals of TypeScript to JavaScript transpilation based on target environment (client and server-side)
- advanced typing techniques specific to the TypeScript paradigm

It has sections on Angular and React and Node.js and Nest.js with TypeScript.
You will even build an authentication page with Firebase.

All in all, a recommended book for hands-on professional TypeScript practices.

Comprehensive Overview of TypeScript + More
Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2021
The book's intent is to cover TypeScript, and it does this very well. There are many examples to go along with the explanations, which I found easy to read. The book is also very well organized. I read the book front to back, and I could feel myself improving chapter by chapter in a well-guided way.

You'll get more than just TypeScript knowledge from this book though. The authors probably felt that TypeScript is not just utilized in a vacuum. There are a lot of good overviews of JavaScript itself, other technologies that are commonly utilized, and some interesting conventions or algorithms on how to solve problems.

I would recommend this book to become a better developer overall while you learn more about Typescript.

My number one resource on Typescript now
Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2021
I've been a part of a large scale Node/Typescript project for the past 2 years, and I thought I had a good grasp on Typescript. However, this book opened a whole new world for me. I haven't had a chance to read it all from cover to cover. I'm not sure if I ever will. But I keep going back to it over and over again to find answers to my questions as a developer, and to find insights and nuances about the language that you simply can't find on stackoverflow and blogs.
