Abstract:
In this talk, we’ll cover the challenges with growing and maintaining large JavaScript applications and how TypeScript addresses them. TypeScript is an open-source language developed by Microsoft built on web standards with a focus on early error detection and high quality tooling. We’ll explore how the features of TypeScript work together to build a rich development story for modern JavaScript development.

Jonathan Turner is the program manager for the TypeScript team and a co-designer of the TypeScript language. Prior to joining Microsoft, he worked on Clang/LLVM and the Chapel programming language. @jntrnr
