What is Typescript ?

TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript that adds optional static typing to the language. It provides better tooling, improved code organization, and enhanced scalability for large-scale JavaScript projects.

TypeScript code is ultimately compiled down to plain JavaScript, which can then be executed in any JavaScript runtime environment.

The path for learning TypeScript typically starts with a solid understanding of JavaScript. Once you have a good grasp of JavaScript, you can begin exploring TypeScript by learning about its syntax, type system, and features like interfaces, classes, and modules.

Some good sources to learn TypeScript include the official TypeScript documentation, online tutorials, and courses on platforms like Udemy, Pluralsight, or Coursera.

Additionally, you can find helpful resources on websites like freeCodeCamp, MDN Web Docs, w3schools and the TypeScript Handbook.
