Course Overview
Hi, everyone. My name is Mat Warger and welcome to my course, Building React Apps with TypeScript. I’m a senior consultant at Keyhole Software in Kansas City. TypeScript has exploded onto the React scene lately and for good reason. Using TypeScript will increase your confidence in developing reliable applications and improve everything from state management to APIs. In this course, we’re going to look at how TypeScript can be used with React to create rock solid applications with fewer bugs for our users and a better development experience for us. Some of the major topics that we’ll cover include configuring TypeScript from scratch or in an existing React app, declaring props for class and function components, using React hooks in creating custom hooks, interacting with API data in a strongly typed way. By the end of this course, you’ll know how to create new features, as well as convert existing React to applications to TypeScript. Before beginning the course, you should be familiar with React application development. We’ll cover the basics of TypeScript, though, so you’ll get a working knowledge of the necessary concepts. I hope you’ll join me on this journey to learn React development with TypeScript with the Building React Apps with TypeScript course, at Pluralsight.
