Microsoft/TypeScript · GitHub

TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript that compiles to clean JavaScript output.

https://www.typescriptlang.org

TypeScript – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

TypeScript is a free and open source programming language developed by Microsoft. It is a strict superset of JavaScript, and adds optional static typing and class-based object-oriented programming to the language. Anders Hejlsberg, lead architect of C# and creator of Delphi and Turbo Pascal, has worked on development of TypeScript.[1][2][3][4]

TypeScript is designed for development of large applications and transcompiles to JavaScript.[5] As TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, any existing JavaScript programs are also valid TypeScript programs.

TypeScript supports header files which can contain type information of existing JavaScript libraries, enabling other programs to use objects defined in the header files as if they were strongly typed TypeScript objects. There are third-party header files for popular libraries like jQuery, MongoDB, Node.js, and D3.js.[6]

Common criticisms of TypeScript

• Why does TypeScript have to be the answer to anything? – Scott Hanselman

TypeScript was announced and folks are saying “TypeScript is clearly Microsoft’s answer to Google’s Dart” or “So TypeScript is Microsoft’s answer to CoffeeScript.”

People have compared TypeScript to Dart. That’s comparing apples to carburetors. TypeScript builds on JavaScript so there’s no JS interop issues. Dart is a native virtual machine written from scratch. Dart interops with JavaScript…but it’s not JS. It doesn’t even use the JavaScript number type for example.

• Charles’ Problem with TypeScript

TypeScript | Build 2014 | Channel 9

JavaScript has grown from a webpage toy to being used in large-scale deployments both on the server and in the browser. This rapid growth has outpaced the growth of the language itself, which lacks features that allow teams to communicate requirements and build applications safely. This session will be a guided tour of TypeScript, showing how the language and toolset makes it easier to write cross-platform, large-scale JavaScript applications.

HTML5 went big in 2012, but how are things looking for 2013? With some high profile moves away from HTML5, is the Internet’s darling fading or just getting started?

Plus where to start with game design, playing the app store game, and do we hate Firefox?

• Chris writes in:

“When I referenced \”beauty\” I meant the design of C++ as a language, and how one can write in it very freely.”

• A web developer wants to know why we hate Firefox and sees a trend for web devs to focus on webKit.
• Jason asks:

So, here is where I am really stuck. How do you sit down and design something like a game? What tips would you give for actually laying out the design of the code, and the UI that you need? I come from a heavy web background, and have been doing mostly procedural languages for the past 10 years. I have the training in OO, but haven\’t been using the skills.

Mostly, I\’m curious about the design side of apps and gaming. How do you do this so it doesn\’t take on a life of its own, but still gives me the direction I need to move forward?”

• Harley shares that Goto’s are still used and can be useful in generated code and also that Vala depends on Glib
• Charles wrties in to share Just Java 2 for AP Comp Sci students and does not recommend CodeAcademy.
• Anthony asks is the money to be made on the Ubuntu Software Center
• Kyle shares https://www.greenteapress.com/thinkapjava/ for you AP Java student
