Nathan Rozentals

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.

We also included the option of selecting how many of these products to add to a shopping cart.

The Vue application that we built in Chapter 13, Vue, was responsible for displaying a user...
