So you've probably heard about TypeScript by now. Did you know that many companies are adopting it? Including top companies like Slack, Airbnb, and Google. Do you use VS Code? You enjoy the excellent JavaScript support and IntelliSense it has? Well, that's thanks to TypeScript!

TypeScript is a strict superset of JavaScript, and it can help you write safer and more maintainable code. In this workshop, we'll first see why you should care about TypeScript, and then Start diving into it. We'll start with some basics, and then move on to some more advanced topics. We'll be covering subjects like:

• Basic types (number, boolean, string)
• Arrays and tuples
• Objects and interfaces
• Unions and Intersections
• Typing functions
• Discriminant union types
• And more...
• And we'll be doing live coding along the way!

You may have used it before and got a wrong impression, but I'll try to convince you why it's a good idea to use it!

* The workshop will be delivered in Spanish.
