Many developers want to dive right in and start learning a new language and many times they fail to take advantage of all the strengths of the language. If you are contemplating starting a Typescript project I highly recommend this book. It will not waste your time. The organization of this book allows the beginner to easily learn how to apply object oriented concepts to JavaScript. It also allows more advanced developers to skim through and find things they were not aware of. The book also covers many things you will need when developing large Typescript projects. For example, chapter six covers the integration of RequireJS, NuGet and Knockout. Typescript Essentials is a concise source of information on how to do object oriented development around JavaScript. It would be difficult to gather all this information from the multiple sources on the internet.

This book is awesome. From the moment I opened it to the second I put it down it was full of thrills. I got chills reading it. The author, Christopher Nance must be some sort of genius! I envy his intellect and hope that someday I will be the programmer that he is. I highly suggest this book to anyone wanting to get the leg up on other programmer and expand their mental prowess. Highly recommend and two thumbs up! Easy read!

You could probably learn Typescript from the documentation. But having a text like this hold your hand at least for a while will certainly cut your learning curve.

I got a review copy of this book and did not find in it the answers I was looking for. It might be OK for a newbie developer who has never built a web-app, but for an experienced professional it is too shallow.It explains the language constructs well enough, but you don't need a book for that. This is already explained on http://www.typescriptlang.org/HandbookIt makes some forais into OO principles but there are much better books for this subject. Furthermore, TypeScript could be a good functional language too. OO is no requirement for using it.When it comes to the tool set, I was disappointed that only VisualStudio gets named. True enough TS is a Microsoft backed language and it has probably a good support in Visual Studio. Nevertheless, I had expected to learn about integrating TS with my JS projects where I use Grunt. In any case, at least one command line tool to automate the building of my application would have been helpful.Bottom line: if you never built a web-app and use VisualStudio you will find some useful information.
