Total TypeScript by Matt Pocock

Quickstart

Install PNPM

Because this course is so big we're using pnpm as the package manager. It's like npm, but results in fewer node_modules saved to disk.

Install pnpm globally.

Install Dependencies

# Installs all dependencies
pnpm install

# Asks you which exercise you'd like to run, and runs it
pnpm run exercise

How to take the course

You'll notice that the course is split into exercises. Each exercise is split into a *.problem and a *.solution.

To take an exercise:

  1. Run pnpm exercise
  2. Choose which exercise you'd like to run.

This course encourages active, exploratory learning. In the video, I'll explain a problem, and you'll be asked to try to find a solution. To attempt a solution, you'll need to:

  1. Check out TypeScript's docs.
  2. Try to find something that looks relevant.
  3. Give it a go to see if it solves the problem.

You'll know if you've succeeded because the tests will pass.

If you succeed, or if you get stuck, unpause the video and check out the *.solution. You can see if your solution is better or worse than mine!
