TypeScript was developed by Microsoft as a syntactical superset for JavaScript, and may even come to replace JavaScript entirely. TypeScript is already being used on large projects at Facebook and Google. As a superset language, it lets developers program in JavaScript while having access to new and extended capabilities JavaScript isn't capable of. TechRepublic's TypeScript resource guide contains links to all the videos, books, and web tutorials developers need to get started with it.
