The last few years have seen major improvements to
JavaScript as well as its adoption at the server-side
with the arrival of Node and Express and even for
desktop applications using Electron. TypeScript is an
enhancement to JavaScript which allows type-safe coding as well as supporting
modern JavaScript features on older implementations.

This was a very good course in helping to learn the capabilities
of JavaScript which was delivered in an excellent manner by a trainer who knows
his stuff. I would have no hesitaion in recommending this to colleagues/business partners.
