Many developers want to dive right in and start learning a new language and many times they fail to take advantage of all the strengths of the language. If you are contemplating starting a Typescript project I highly recommend this book. It will not waste your time. The organization of this book allows the beginner to easily learn how to apply object oriented concepts to JavaScript. It also allows more advanced developers to skim through and find things they were not aware of. The book also covers many things you will need when developing large Typescript projects. For example, chapter six covers the integration of RequireJS, NuGet and Knockout. Typescript Essentials is a concise source of information on how to do object oriented development around JavaScript. It would be difficult to gather all this information from the multiple sources on the internet.
