Introduction to TypeScript by @basarat

A demo of the immediately useful features of TypeScript, the problems it addresses, how you can start using it in your NodeJS Environment.

sidorares commented 10 years ago

TypeScript demo vas really cool, but I think we need to set talk limit to 30 mins or so :) (actually, most of the time took Q&A and discussion which is good and I don't want to time limit). Thanks @basarat

@sidorares could you round up some separate posts for any of the content that was presented?

sidorares commented 10 years ago

We only had 2 proper talks - I'll chase @basarat and @mlilley to create posts here

basarat commented 10 years ago

My talk was all demo. You can get TypeScript from here : http://www.typescriptlang.org/#Download basically:

npm install -g tsc

Webstorm comes with integrated support http://www.jetbrains.com/webstorm/. You can get a free version here http://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/WI/WebStorm+7+EAP

You can also play with it online here : http://www.typescriptlang.org/Playground/

thanks @basarat, could you please make a fresh issue in this repo and put your post there, that way it'll be listed under your name. Instructions are here: https://github.com/polyhack/nodejsau/issues/8 basically what you have there is fine, just make a new issue with a nice title and prefix it with "Post:" and then we'll make sure it gives you permission to publish to the site.
