Build enterprise-ready, industrial-strength web applications using TypeScript and leading JavaScript frameworksAbout This BookStart with the basics, then enhance your knowledge with in-depth discussions on language features, third-party libraries, design patterns and morePractical examples that show how to use TypeScript with popular frameworks, including Backbone, Angular 2, React, Aurelia, Node and othersFocus on test-driven development to build high quality applications that are modular, scalable and adaptableWho This Book Is ForWhether you are a JavaScript developer aiming to learn TypeScript, or an experienced TypeScript developer, this book will take your skills to the next level. From basic to advanced language constructs, test-driven development, object-oriented techniques and industry standard design patterns, you will learn how to get the most out of the TypeScript language.What You Will LearnGain an insight into core and advanced TypeScript language featuresIntegrate your existing JavaScript libraries and third-party frameworks by writing and using declaration filesTarget popular JavaScript frameworks such as jQuery, Backbone, Angular, Aurelia, React, Node, and ExpressCreate extensive test suites for your application with Jasmine, Protactor, and SeleniumOrganize your application code using modules, AMD loaders, Require and SystemJsExplore advanced object-oriented design principles, including Dependency InjectionUnderstand and compare the various MVC implementations in Aurelia, Angular, React and BackboneBuild a complete single-page web application that incorporates CSS animations to enhance your customers' browsing experienceIn DetailThe TypeScript language, compiler, and opensource development toolset brings JavaScript development up to the enterprise level. It allows us to use ES5, ES6, and ES7 JavaScript language features today, including classes, interfaces, generics, modules, and more. Its simple typing syntax enables building large, robust applications using object-oriented techniques and industry standard design principles.Packed with practical, real-world examples, this book is a guide to bringing the benefits of strongly typed, object-oriented programming and design principles into the JavaScript development space. Starting with core language features, and working through more advanced topics such as generics and asynchronous programming techniques, you will learn how to gain maximum benefit from your JavaScript development with TypeScript. With a strong focus on test-driven development, and coverage of many popular and in-demand JavaScript frameworks, you can fast-track your TypeScript knowledge to a professional level. By the end of this book, you will be able to confidently build TypeScript applications, whether you are targeting Angular, Aurelia, React, Backbone, Node, or any other JavaScript framework.Style and approachWith generous doses of small, easy to follow code samples, this hands-on guide builds up your TypeScript knowledge incrementally. Starting with entry-level concepts, and moving towards intermediate and then advanced techniques, this book provides practical examples of real-world techniques to build robust, testable, adaptable and enterprise-ready JavaScript applications.
