1. Fully Understand Typescript
   I, perhaps like many other people, picked up Typescript casually as a matter of necessity while working on a project. Over the years I’ve worked on several projects and have come to really love Typescript and kind of thought I knew Typescript pretty well. As it turns out, I was only scratching the surface and this book was able to fill in gaps I didn’t even know I had.The first few chapters cover all the foundational knowledge that filled in knowledge gaps for me, while the chapters on Generics and Decorators were all new to me and so were a super fun read. The last few chapters cover a bunch of example Typescript applications that would allow the beginner to have something to cut their teeth against.I would recommend this book to both someone just starting out with Typescript, and someone who has used Typescript before but wants to develop a deeper understanding of it.

3. Excellent Introduction to TypeScript.
   As the author so accurately points out, TypeScript does not eliminate the need to thoroughly understand JavaScript. Even the JavaScript primer chapters (3 and 4), which are extremely well-written, target experienced JavaScript developers. The author’s writing style is very clear, including his examples and their explanations. While you should have a strong JavaScript base, no such expectation is required with respect to TypeScript. Part 1 provides the foundation. Part 2 provides the details. Finally, part 3 shows how to use TypeScript in a stand-alone web application, a React application, and an Angular application.

4. New Edition – Covers TypeScript 5!
   I’ve read and followed Adam Freeman’s work for a long time now. His books have been extremely helpful to me, and now he’s under a new publisher with his updated edition covering TypeScript 5. Don’t let the title mislead you, this is a comprehensive book that covers using TypeScript in 3 parts:1. TypeScript basics and an (optional) JavaScript primer/refresher;2. Object and functional programming with TypeScript;3. Creating 3 fully-functional applications (standalone web app, Angular app, React app)I found the author’s TypeScript 4 edition invaluable as software engineering professional and manager, and I’m equally pleased with this new coverage. Highly recommended for learning TypeScript or even advancing current knowledge.

5. Great for learning and deepening TypeScript knowledge
   This book goes through all the details you need as you get started with TypeScript. One of the unique aspects of this book is that it also works through details that help experienced TypeScript developers to become more knowledgeable about the language. The examples are up-to-date and allow for a great codebase to use for reference going forward into your personal/enterprise development projects.
