A beginners guide to Typescript | Why use it?

[@mohammad-aman1105]

I have a suggestion that please never discontinue this series

[@robertholtz]

“…please never discontinue...” You must write amazing conditional statements. 😂

[@amanchourasia9688]

Typescript is just javascript where you write more javascript.

[@sagzone8644]

Even though I'm no stranger to TS, having Ed's perspective always adds some depth and broadens my understanding. Keep them coming, and a heartfelt thank you!

[@developedbyed]

That’s such a nice comment, thank you so much!

[@eunomiac]

TypeScript is great ... until you want to do something complicated or clever. Then you find yourself wandering through a Kafkaesque hellscape of conditional generic mapped type inferences until you can actually _feel_ your inner child dying.

[@pjmaas106]

You must be a front end developer. Kafkaesque and italic text? I see you!

[@zad_pan8619]

I am Excited to dig more into TS after this Video. Thanks Ed

[@TJKlimoski]

Loving the picture of Matt Pocock in the starting graphic! Can you make the title of this series a Doctor Strangelove pun? "Dr. TypeScript or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Type Safety"

[@codeninja77]

Great Video's Ed, I am so loving it. But man just one thing, Increase the font size of your text in the editor it makes it better to see and read

[@adnanahad]

I was watching your every single video 2 years ago...then notifications stopped coming and I started higher studies. now I want to watch you every single video but please do something with the notifications

[@seanodotcom]

Great video. I'd append to your title for visibility... something like " - a gentle introduction to TypeScript" (e.g.)

[@JohnMcclaned]

Theo made a video "Giving up on next" that talked about that react query + server actions technique you use. He mentioned at around 35:00 that you can wrap it in a hook but didn't expand on it. Can you do a video on this? Thanks

[@HoNow222]

i can't watch theo. it's only clickbaiting and DRAMA

[@Ben-ri4ie]

@@HoNow222 And ads disguised as content

[@developedbyed]

Let me know if I should cover anything specific in this series 💖

[@logeshM-yu2hq]

you know what? .... you have gained another subscriber ❤

[@mujibulhaquetanim]

Please a detailed video on typescript in react not just touching just basics.

[@h051n]

I want to see how you fetch api and use Typescript, how to handle the data, and then when exporting it how to use it.

[@devalberto]

What is the font used in your VSCode? It looks nice

[@andrewSantosMaia]

Helpfull and funny! Thanks Guy!

[@juanmacias5922]

I love the name of the series haha

[@krayziekray9509]

That is great. Will Next.js course include Typescript?

[@developedbyed]

yes it will!

[@RainOnline]

din cauza ta m-am angajat in IT.. acum 3 ani si ceva, am facut cursul ala cu The Creative React and Redux

[@IvanHaha]

wow typescript looks like a really nice VS code extension :)

[@bn5055]

It's not an extension, it's a language...

[@sawilliams]

I wonder how much time and work was spent by Brendan Eich, the creator of JavaScript, making Javascript a weakly typed language. He was probably like, this will make it fast and easy for everyone that they don't have to worry about typing their vars!

[@dummymail2495]

What is happening to your upcoming next.js14 course? Any update?

[@daromacs]

Ed, what's that extension that shows up the type error as a temporary comment to the right of the code at 3:58? thanks

[@Troyzhen]

Console ninja, I think

[@mattpocockuk]

lol

[@gaming_zen_99]

Make a detailed video about drizzle

[@gfabasic32]

Super vids dude!

[@EnriqueDominguezProfile]

Let's be real. It's not js with types, it's js with a linter. It only took off cuz people are lousy and were getting "undefined is not a function" a bit much. Great video tho, just wanted to hate a bit.

[@itcook5874]

❤

[@devprocedure]

LET'S BACK UP a BIT... I do NOT see "real-world" problem being solved by using TypeScript. All I see are silly examples of a "function that adds or divides 2 numbers' to justify "type checking". e.g., Who writes a function just to do basic math???? Next, developers are testing (aka runtime) their code LINE-BY-LINE anyway, so "compile-time" checking isn't all that beneficial in saving a developer time coding. In other words, TypeScript adds a layer of complexity that doesn't have that much benefit to JavaScript world. NEWS FLASH: 1. Most data on the Client Side are STRINGS anyway. 2. NUMBERS and DATES are already validated in the client's browser anyway. 3. And YES, you are passing data for a KNOWN REASON. So you have a pretty good idea what is to be expected. And those to say you don't OR say you haven't worked with a large code base are justifying passing parameters that you have NO CLUE in what you are passing? If so, that is a sneaky form of "job security". LOL.

[@UFO_808]

Dev Ed im from poor country can I get that old $10 discount on your react course I really need it
