10 Angular and TypeScript Projects to Take You From Zero to Hero 11

There are a lot of great samples and posts out there to help get you started with Angular (version 2 or higher) as well as ES6/ES2015 and TypeScript. However, some are out of date, some may be more complex than you want to start with, and others have been abandoned and are no longer maintained. In this post I’m going to provide a list of 10 Angular/TypeScript projects that I’ve created that can take you from “Zero to Hero” if you like to explore project code and are interested in investing the time to learn.

This same environment can easily be […]


Video – TypeScript: Angular 2’s Secret Weapon

I had the awesome opportunity to speak at ng-conf (one of my favorite conferences) about TypeScript and some of the key features it provides that are used in Angular 2. While several of the features covered are available (and have been available for years) in server-side languages such as C#, Java and others, developers accustomed to writing browser-centric applications haven’t been able to leverage these features in the past. TypeScript provides a great way to take advantage of ES6 features while also providing support for some of the features I discuss in the talk such as interfaces, generics, type support and more. Angular 2 is […]


Yet Another Podcast Interview: TypeScript and Angular 2

I recently had the opportunity to chat with my good friend Jesse Liberty on his Yet Another Podcast show about TypeScript and the role it can play in JavaScript-centric applications. We talked about the benefits that TypeScript offers (much more than just strong “types”) as well as how TypeScript fits into the overall Angular 2 picture. Jesse’s an experienced podcast host who asks great questions and makes it easy to chat about any subject – TypeScript in this case! You can listen to the interview here.
