All Things Typescript Newsletter - Issue #2

www.allthingstypescript.dev

Hi, and thank you for subscribing to my new All Things Typescript newsletter; this weeks’ issue is dropping on a Monday, as will all subsequent issues.

We had an eventful week last week, with the Type as comment syntax proposal from the Typescript Team being the highlight.

In this issue, I have curated a few interesting articles to help you in your journey of learning Typescript and added a few tweets that were notable and very educational. I hope you will enjoy this weeks’ issue and if you have any feedback, please get in touch with me on Twitter - @mwycliffe_dev or via email: me@mainawycliffe.dev.

Thank you.

Thanks for reading All Things Typescript! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work.

We think this has the potential to make TypeScript easier and faster to use for development at every scale.
