Here’s what’s included:

## Introduction to TypeScript

Kickstart your TypeScript setup with a refresher on the core benefits and concepts of TypeScript: initial configuration, the TypeScript compiler, and type inference.

Follow the recommended setup and extensions for your editor, with a focus on Visual Studio Code, and become familiar with features like navigation, autocompletion, refactoring, and writing self-documenting code.

Understand TypeScript's role in the build process, and why browsers need help understanding the syntax. Structure your project to work nicely with the compiler, and configure for working with modern build tools like Vite and hot module replacement (HMR). Practice setting up type checking in a CI/CD pipeline, preventing errors from reaching production.

## TypeScript Fundamentals

Reinforce your foundational skills by working with TypeScript's essential types and annotations. You'll work with function parameters and return types, and model data with object literal types, arrays, and tuples. Write reusable type aliases, correctly type async code, and handle data that comes from external sources. Create more flexible types by using unions, intersections, and interfaces.

Write more expressive code that refines types through several narrowing techniques, and recognize the role of any, never, and unknown in your codebase.

## Objects, Classes, and Mutability

Types, interfaces, and classes all have their place in TypeScript. Learn the differences between them, and how to choose the right structure for your needs. Work with dynamic data in objects, and and overcome index signature limitations by using mapped types. Practice using essential type helpers like Pick, Omit, and Partial, and how to build your own helper when you need to.

Develop the mental model for how mutability affects type inference and safety. Recognize the benefits of immutable data structures, and how to work around their quirks.

Apply object-oriented programming principles to your TypeScript code. Understand the role of classes, constructors, and access modifiers, and how to use inheritance and composition to build complex systems that follow real-world design patterns.

## Working with the Compiler

Harness the power of the TypeScript compiler to derive types from values, while furthering your understanding of type inference. Create new kinds of type aliases, and use indexed access types to target nested properties.

Recognize when TypeScript needs your help through type annotations and assertions, and the purpose of as, asserts, and satisfies. Apply these techniques to real-world scenarios like working with DOM APIs, parsing JSON, and creating configuration objects.

## Understanding the Environment

Distinguish between TypeScript modules and scripts, and prevent global scope pollution. Provide types for JavaScript files and third-party libraries, and understand the role of ambient declarations.

Safely modify global interfaces like Window through declaration merging, work with namespaces like JSX, and understand when to use .d.ts type definition files vs. modules.

Learn best practices for configuring TypeScript's behavior based on the type of project you're working on. Adjust strictness levels, module resolution, and generate type declaration files. Use TypeScript as a linter, and optimize build performance for large projects.

## Advanced Application Development

Understand the core differences between CommonJS (CJS) and ES Modules (ESM), and how TypeScript handles module syntax. Learn to use file extensions for guiding module resolution, and configure TypeScript settings for more consistent behavior. Make informed decisions about when to adopt ESM into your projects, and build libraries that support both CJS and ESM consumers for maximum compatibility.

Practice domain modeling by representing real-world concepts and encoding business logic within your types. Establish single sources of truth for type definitions, and create reusable generic type utilities. Enforce stricter type checking with well-placed constraints.

Combine generics and function overloads for maximum flexibility, and create custom type guards and predicates to enhance type inference. Create type-safe APIs with template literal types, mapped types, and custom error types.


Learn TypeScript by setting up a pro environment, using advanced IDE features, and mastering type annotations, unions, object types, inference, and generics.

Pro Essentials Workshop

TypeScript Pro Essentials

Total TypeScript Complete Volume is a set of five full TypeScript workshops for the advanced-beginner to expert professional TypeScript programmer that wants to take their skills to the next level. This bundle includes all of the Total TypeScript self-paced workshops.

The Type Transformations workshop is your guide to TypeScript features and patterns that allow you to manipulate types to produce exactly what you want. As you begin to see how the pieces fit together, you’ll find yourself writing less code that is easier to maintain.

There are over 50 exercises in this workshop, each with a challenge designed to help you learn to wield the power of transforming strings into objects, objects into unions, and everything in between.

<Testimonial author={{name: "Laila Straube"}}>I am sorry but I can not say it in different words. **THIS WORKSHOP IS FU^^ING AMAZING.**</Testimonial>

## Inference Basics 

The TypeScript compiler uses type inference to automatically determine the data type of a value depending on the context in which it is used. We can use several utilities and operators to define our own types more precisely.

## Unions & Indexing Unions

Union types play a key role in the type transformation process. In this section we will work at unions and discriminated unions, as well as how to access their properties with indexed access types. Several of TypeScript’s built-in utility types will also be explored.

## Template Literals 

As of TypeScript 4.1, template literals can be used to power amazing inference on strings. In this section we’ll practice using template literals to help create object types, split strings into tuples, and other useful transformations.

## Type Helpers

Type helpers allow you to manipulate and work with types in a more convenient way. They allow you to set constraints that ensure your types are as you expect while retaining flexibility for reuse. The type helper pattern is important to understand, as it forms the basis of many of TypeScript's core features.

## Conditional Types & Infer 

In this section, we will further explore how to leverage the type helpers pattern, paying special attention to conditional types and inference when working with functions, objects, and Promises.

## Mapped Types 

With TypeScript's mapped types, you can transform any type into and out of objects, unions, and tuples. It's an amazingly flexible tool for creating all sorts of different types. You’ll get practice with all of these, as well as using template literals to dynamically customize your types. One learner wrote they'd been using TS for 2 years and finally understood Mapped Types after this section!

## Challenges

To tie up the previous exercises, we've put together several real-world challenges that will put your Type Transformation skills to the test.

Type Transformations Workshop

Type Transformations

The Generics workshop is your guide to mastering one of TypeScript's most complex features.

Through dozens of exercises, you'll get to grips with generics from the lowest level, up through examples of how your favorite TS libraries use them.

<Testimonial author={{name: "Tal Faran"}}>Just finished all the Generics sections. Really enjoyed it! It covers realistic problems from our day to day work, and when you reach the end you have strong grasp of how to use generic more efficiently, and in a prettier way that is more accurate of what you wanted to achieve in the first place.</Testimonial>

## Intro to Generics

The best place to start is the start. We'll learn the syntax for assigning generics to functions and classes. We'll learn what's possible with the syntax, and build our very first runtime generic function.

## Passing Type Arguments

TypeScript can infer generics based on arguments passed to functions- but there's an alternative. You can manually pass types as type arguments to functions. We'll cover exactly why this is useful, _when_ it's useful, and what limitations this approach has.

## The Art of Generic Inference

Understanding generics in functions requires deep knowledge of the TypeScript compiler. You usually have multiple options when it comes to representing a generic in a function - and there's often not a right answer. We'll examine exercises which help illuminate these decisions.

## Advanced Generics

There's more to generics than inference. In this section we'll cover generics with conditional types, generic currying, and generics on interfaces. Each come with their own challenges.

## Function Overloads

Sometimes, you don't need a generic. Function overloads provide another method for inferring types from arguments passed to a function. In this section, we'll compare and contrast overloads with generics - and even discuss how they can be combined.

TypeScript Generics Workshop

TypeScript Generics

The Advanced Patterns workshop is a primer on several patterns that emerge from TypeScript's primitives. We'll build on the generics and type transformations work we've done so far - extracting methods for architecting them into novel solutions.

Most of these patterns aren't documented by TypeScript - they've been discovered and iterated on by the TypeScript community. Each section focuses on a different pattern via interactive exercises.

**This workshop is not appropriate for beginners.**

## Branded Types

Branded types (sometimes known as nominal types) let you break the rules of TypeScript by 'naming' types. This opens up a _lot_ of possibilities for using the type system to ensure your app's logic is robust.

## Globals

The often-feared global scope is a necessary part of most applications. Whether you're importing a library via CDN that attaches to `window`, or relying on environment variables, you'll need to know how to strongly type the global scope.

## Type Predicates & Assertion Functions

Type predicates and assertion functions give you the power to customize TypeScript's control flow. When used in combination with `if` statements, they can help improve inference and make your code easier to reason about.

## The Builder Pattern

This section builds on the Generics work we did in the previous workshop. We'll use classes and generics to perform ridiculous feats of inference - building up entire data structures in TypeScript without a single type annotation from the user.

## External Libraries

Diving into external libraries is extremely complex. But it's often necessary to debug complicated type errors. Understanding the flow of generics through an external library can be critical to quickly fixing red lines. We'll look at several popular libraries.

## Identity Functions

Sometimes in TypeScript, you just need a function. Some generic inference isn't possible without an identity function. We'll learn when and where to use them, as well as some powerful type helpers to assist their inference.

Advanced Patterns Workshop

Advanced TypeScript Patterns

React is the framework for professional web development.

The scale and complexity of web applications is always expanding. This has led to missed deadlines, higher costs, and deep frustration on developers like you and your team.

TypeScript is the language of choice for professional web developers. TypeScript lets teams build faster, more robust applications.

TypeScript solves a lot of problems, but it's not a silver bullet. It’s a complex language with a lot of features, and is challenging to use effectively– particularly when it comes to React. 

TypeScript with React is a high-wire act. 

You have to keep your components flexible, type-safe, and structured so you can take advantage of inference and not sacrifice maintainability down the line.

As soon as you start throwing `any`s around or duplicating code you know should be reusable, you’ve lost the plot.

Advanced React with TypeScript by Matt Pocock is your secret weapon.

You’ve found the magic wand you need to stop fighting TypeScript and make it do YOUR bidding like a true wizard.

In this Advanced React with TypeScript workshop, you’ll learn how to combine the most important concepts and patterns of React with TypeScript. 

This combination is a superpower that will change the way you and your team build web applications.

You’ll write custom hooks that use generics, share some (but not all) props between components, and remove guesswork by diving into the types behind the scenes of React and other popular libraries.

This workshop has been vetted and tested with professional senior+ React developers and teams like yours.

Advanced TypeScript with React includes over 50 exercises spanning six in-depth sections: 

## Advanced Props with TypeScript
**Handle props and custom components**

Learn how to shape props to support multiple variants, share selected props between different components, use union types for conditional rendering, and other best practices for your components.

## TypeScript Generics in React
**Leverage generics for your components and custom hooks**

TypeScript generics are a key tool in creating flexible, reusable components and hooks in React.

Generics can be used to define how components should be rendered based on the data and structures passed in. You'll work with custom hooks that support async operations and proper error handling, as well as combine generics with useState and useReducer for complex state management. The exercises in this section will fundamentally change the way you build components.

## Advanced React Hooks with TypeScript
**Harness types to create safer hooks**

Using TypeScript with React Hooks provides serious benefits. You will practice with advanced concepts like returning read-only tuples from custom hooks and implementing function overloads for built-in hooks like useState. You'll implement loading and error states for an async hook, while provided a cancellation mechanism to avoid memory leaks. By the end of this section, you'll have the tools to create well-typed hooks that elevate your component development workflow.

## Types Deep Dive
**Read behind the scenes to build your understanding**

The TypeScript type system forms the backbone of React and other libraries you use on a regular basis. But the errors it gives you can be confusing in the extreme.

Examine the various members of the React namespace, and how to use them to build better prop types. From understanding JSX.IntrinsicElements to augmenting React’s types themselves, you’ll learn everything you need to remove the guesswork when solving React’s nastiest TypeScript errors.

## Advanced Patterns in React with TypeScript
**Recognize and follow industry-standard patterns**

Combining community-adopted React patterns with TypeScript features can significantly optimize your applications and the way you write code. You will work with classic component patterns like Render Props and Higher Order Components, solve the forwardRef problem, and master the ‘as’ prop– all with the added benefits of type safety.

The patterns you learn here will give you ideas for refactoring your existing React codebase - and build powerful design systems

## Leveraging External Libraries
**Safely integrate external libraries into your React components**

Libraries supercharge your React development productivity. But they can be a double-edged sword. With TypeScript, you’re not just adding runtime code– you’re adding types to your project.

You'll create type-safe form components with `react-hook-form`, and learn how to master third-party generics with `react-select`. You will look behind the type definitions behind React Query, and apply what you learn to defining a custom hook to encapsulate its functionality. The lessons you learn from diving deep into types in node modules will be applicable to any third-party library you choose to use.

## Prerequisites

You'll need a working knowledge of React, as well as foundational TypeScript knowledge. Working through the [React with TypeScript Tutorial](https://www.totaltypescript.com/tutorials/react-with-typescript) is recommended.
