Welcome to Effective TypeScript!

Welcome to the Effective TypeScript website!

Effective TypeScript (the book) was published at the end of October 2019.

This companion site was a bit long in coming, but I hope to use it to:

  • Post sample items
  • Post updates when TypeScript releases change the advice in the book.
  • Share links to conference presentations and videos.
  • Show examples of how to apply the items in the book.
  • Show general TypeScript tips & tricks.

An inspiration for this last one is the Centauri Dreams blog, which started as a companion site for a book published in 2004 but is still going strong 16 years later.

Look for posts every ~2 weeks.

I built this site using hexo, a popular JavaScript-based static site generator. If you visit the Effective Python site, you'll notice a strong family resemblance. So a big thanks to Brett for that!
