About a quarter through this one:
https://effectivetypescript.com/ https://effectivetypescript.com/
Also, for a deeper, theoretical understanding of functional and generic programmers, I highly recommend Programming Languages Part A by Dan Grossman on Coursera. That single class did more to open my mind about what is a “programming language”, than anything in my career.
- esperent 2y agoThanks, I'll check both of those out. I started reading TypeScript Deep Dive which is free and seems decent so far. https://basarat.gitbook.io/typescript https://basarat.gitbook.io/typescript
- esperent 2y agoNotes on Typescript deep dive: while it's written to give you the impression that it's kept up to date, and each page has a link at the bottom saying updated 4 years ago (not too bad), in reality it was written in 2016 and contains a lot of information related to the state of JavaScript in that year - when promises, classes, all the ES6 stuff wasn't a normal part of the library and when compilation to ES3 (!) was still a thing. This means there's a lot of no longer relevant fluff to wade through, and if you learned JavaScript some time in the last <6 years it might be actively confusing. It's a pity because, aside from this, it's very well written.
