Typescript Tutorial for C# Developers
Jesse Liberty has a new video tutorial about Typescript for C# devs.
He says that, “TypeScript brings object-oriented programming to JavaScript, giving developers a scalable, feature-rich language that compiles into super clean code. While TypeScript is traditionally taught from the perspective of JavaScript, C# is a great entry point, since it features some of the same constructs, abstractions and syntax.”
