00:00:02,280 --> 00:00:05,380
In this course, you learned a lot about Javascript.

2
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:11,520
Now what if I were to tell you that there is another programming language, closely related to Javascript, which

3
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:13,260
is also worth knowing

4
00:00:13,260 --> 00:00:14,800
and that is Typescript.

5
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:20,820
Now don't worry it's not a brand new language you have to learn, instead Typescript is a language which

6
00:00:20,820 --> 00:00:24,930
does not run in browsers, which does not run in Node.js,

7
00:00:24,930 --> 00:00:31,110
so it's not like Javascript when it comes to that but instead it's a language which builds up on Javascript,

8
00:00:31,350 --> 00:00:37,560
which has to be compiled down to Javascript with help of a tool which we're going to install and which

9
00:00:37,650 --> 00:00:45,390
adds new features to Javascript to make Javascript development easier, maybe more fun but definitely

10
00:00:45,390 --> 00:00:50,320
also cleaner and helps you write cleaner code.

11
00:00:50,340 --> 00:00:55,770
So in this module, we'll have a look at what exactly Typescript is and how it works, how you can use it

12
00:00:56,010 --> 00:01:01,980
and how it looks like and you will then also see why you might want to use it, how to write Typescript

13
00:01:01,980 --> 00:01:09,000
code, that it's not that different compared to Javascript and how you can utilize it for your projects.
