Nathan Rozentals has been writing commercial software for over 30 years, in C, C++, Java and C#. He picked up TypeScript within a week after its initial release in October 2012 and realized how much TypeScript could help when writing JavaScript. He was one of the first people to start blogging about TypeScript, discussing early frameworks such as Backbone, Marionette, ExtJS and AngularJs. He knew he'd hit the mark when Microsoft staff started to reference his blog posts in their CodePlex discussion forums. Nathan's TypeScript solutions now control User Interfaces in IoT devices, run as stand-alone applications for Point-of-Sale solutions, provide complex application configuration web sites, and are used for mission-critical server APIs.

Node and Express

JavaScript has traditionally been used within web browsers in order to enhance or improve the usability or style of web pages. With the growth of the web, each browser competed to provide the best and fastest JavaScript engine they could. One of these JavaScript engines was the V8 engine, which was initially built for Google Chrome, and was released as open source in 2008. Using this engine, Ryan Dahl wrote a JavaScript engine that could be used as a web server, and run on the command line, named Node.js, or simply Node. A year after Node was released, the first versions of the Express framework for Node were released, which provided a set of features to simplify building server-side applications using JavaScript.

Node, using the single-threaded execution of JavaScript code, is able to handle thousands of concurrent web server requests from servers that are relatively small and cheap. Using the callback mechanisms of JavaScript, this also means that programmers...
