We’re in for a treat this week. 5 Things is back with a quirky new episode; and this time it features an MVP! The web and cloud series is hosted interchangeably by John Papa and Burke Holland from the Azure Cloud Developer Advocates team - and with no shortage of off-the-wall graphics and sarcastic jokes - the show presents five cool things about technologies in the Web every week.
This time ‘round, Burke Holland meets with Visual Studio and Development Technologies MVP and Senior Front End Developer at Lonely Planet Jonathan Creamer to talk about TypeScript. Notably, Jonathan delves into the reasons why TypeScript is so hot right now - including its ability to reduce bugs by 15%, help you work with JavaScript files, make building React apps even easier, and... two other reasons.
To learn more, make sure to catch the episode here – it’s golden.
