@james2doyle, I've been tasked with helping out presenters in any way needed. If you would like to bounce any ideas around or try an early dry run of your presentation for feedback, happy to help.

In terms of length, due to time constraints, it may be better to aim for 20-25 minutes with additional time for questions afterward.

@ShMcK thanks for the heads up! I will let you know if I need anything 👍

@james2doyle would you like to update the blurb for the meetup posting? Currently it's set as below:

Intro to Typescript, some of its features, and how to migrate from JS to TS gracefully.

A pretty good summary, but a bit short!

@ShMcK New intro:

Typescript. You've heard about it, you've seen it used on a ton of big projects, even your parents are talking about it. So what is it? What problem is it solving? And finally, what overhead does it add to a project? In this presentation we will answer all these questions as well as talk about the Typescript language itself

[ShMcK]

Thanks, I've updated the meetup page: https://www.meetup.com/vancouver-javascript-developers/events/258909223/
