TYPESCRIPT

Welcome to my TypeScript Journey! 🚀

Here I document my daily progress as I learn and apply TypeScript fundamentals, best practices, and advanced concepts. This journal helps me stay consistent, track what I've learned, and build confidence in writing type-safe JavaScript code.

---

📋 Prerequisites

Before starting this TypeScript journey, you should have:

• JavaScript Fundamentals: Basic understanding of variables, functions, objects, arrays, and ES6+ features
• Node.js: Basic familiarity with Node.js and npm (for running TypeScript)
• Code Editor: VS Code or similar with TypeScript support
• Terminal/Command Line: Comfort with basic commands

If you need a JavaScript refresher, check out this JS repo.

🎯 Why TypeScript?

Because TypeScript:

• Catches bugs early ⚠️ - Type checking at compile time
• Makes large projects easier to manage 🏗️ - Better code organization and maintainability
• Is widely adopted in modern web development 💼 - Industry standard for scalable applications
• Provides excellent IDE support 🛠️ - IntelliSense, refactoring, and navigation
• Gradual adoption 📈 - Can be introduced incrementally to existing JS projects

This repo is my learning companion to understand and master TypeScript step-by-step.

📚 Learning Approach

• Daily Learning: Learn a new topic every day
• Hands-on Practice: Document with practical code examples
• Progressive Building: Each day builds upon previous concepts
• Real-world Applications: Focus on practical, usable knowledge
• Consistent Documentation: Track progress and insights

🛠 How to Run the Code

Prerequisites

# Install TypeScript globally (if not already installed)
npm install -g typescript

# Or use npx for one-time execution
npx tsc --version

Compilation and Execution

# Navigate to any day folder
cd day_001  # or day_002

# Compile TypeScript files
tsc filename.ts

# Run the compiled JavaScript
node filename.js

# Or use ts-node for direct execution
npx ts-node filename.ts

Example Commands

# Day 1 examples
cd day_001
npx ts-node index.ts

# Day 2 examples
cd day_002
npx ts-node array.ts
npx ts-node object.ts
npx ts-node call_signature.ts
