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.

Summary

In this chapter, we have taken a deep dive into the remainder of the primitive types that TypeScript makes available, such as any, null, undefined, object, and never. We covered a diverse range of language constructs, including the let keyword, optional chaining, nullish coalescing, object rest and spread, and tuples. We finished the chapter with a discussion on function definitions, and showed how we can use a variety of language constructs to accurately specify function parameters. In the next chapter, we will explore object-oriented programming techniques, including the use of classes, interfaces, inheritance, and modules.
