TypeScript – Supersetting JavaScript

JavaScript has grown from a webpage toy to being used in large-scale deployments both on the server and in the browser. This rapid growth has outpaced the growth of the language itself, which lacks features that allow teams to communicate requirements and build applications safely. This talk introduces TypeScript, a superset of JavaScript, which aims fill these gaps.  I'll be covering TypeScript's key features and how these features work together to help make building large-scale JavaScript applications easier.
