Getting Started with TypeScript: Includes Introduction to Angular

This book covers features of TypeScript 2.1 like async/await and Angular 2

TypeScript is a JavaScript superset that supports static typing and compiles down to plain JavaScript. TypeScript gives you compile-time errors, great tooling support and the latest JavaScript features like classes, arrow functions and modules. You can compile these latest features down to a JavaScript version that is supported in today's browsers.

The adoption of TypeScript is increasing and as a serious developer you should have that language definitely in your pocket!
