Wrapping Up

In this section we covered the basics of ES6 JavaScript and TypeScript.

We discussed how TypeScript is a super-set of ES6 JavaScript.

We explained how to install the command-line tools so you can transpile TypeScript locally on your computer.

We covered the core features of ES6 such as let, const, template strings, fat arrow functions; for-of loops, Map and Set; as well as how to deal with asynchronous programming by using Promises.

With TypeScript we covered classes, class access modifiers, interfaces; decorators, modules and types including generic types.

We’ve covered a lot of topics but still this is just the essentials required to build Angular applications, there is more to learn in each of these areas.
