Greets to all. Just wanna ask for a specific title and author you would recommend for coding in TypeScript. I know its just plain JavaScript with strict syntax but I think there are some features that it has that lack from the other.

I just need at least 2 to 3 title with respective authors then I am good. Also can you guys make a review on each book you would recommend and why you have chosen to recommend it? Thanks y'all.

I think you don't need to get a book as the documentation is already sufficient and already has good examples especially those stuff that is not included in JavaScript such as interfaces and much more. Your problem right now is not the reading materials my friend but the types you would encounter when you code methods with parameters.

Always keep in mind that if you were to use TypeScript then you have to be a strict coder. Back in the days, I always put the Optional Explicit statement to avoid erroneous things in VBScript but that was years ago and I think same applies for TypeScript and its strictness after doing a few frontend and backend development with it.

Okay got that sir. I think that is what I will do instead of relying on books for now since it is a shortcut. I just have trust issues with documentations happygonutty. 🤣

Oh okay so you rely more on books. Hmm but how come? Shouldn't you be relying more on the documentation because the ones who make the documentations are the authors and maintainers themselves?
