5. JavaScript and TypeScript: Part 1

In this chapter I provide a quick tour of the most important basic features of the JavaScript language as they apply to Angular development. I don’t have the space to describe JavaScript completely, so I have focused on the essentials that you’ll need to get up to speed and follow the examples in this book. In Chapter 6, I describe some of the more advanced JavaScript features that you will need and some of the additional features provided by TypeScript.
