About the technology

TypeScript is an extension of JavaScript that includes key language features such as optional static typing, compile-time error catching, and auto-complete. By specifying types and type annotations, your code becomes much easier to interpret, which improves productivity and team development. In particular, TypeScript makes complex applications like SPAs much easier to maintain and extend.
