About the course

There are going to be two parts for the course.

Part 1 - Introduction To TypeScript

We are going to create a new TypeScript app from scratch.
Our goal is to make this piece of code to work:

const listOfAnimals = new List<Animal>(); 

listOfAnimals.add(new Dog("Joy")); 
listOfAnimals.add(new Dog("Moni")); 
listOfAnimals.add(new Cat("Marshel")); 
listOfAnimals.add(new Horse("Din")); 

listOfAnimals.print();
/*
    Expected output:
    Hello I am Joy!
    Hello I am Moni!
    Hello I am Marshel!
    Hello I am Din!
 */

Let's start

Verify that you have `Npm`, `Node` and `TypeScript` installed globally on your computer.

• Create a new empty folder.
  

• In the root folder add a folder called src. Inside of it we will have most of our code, organized in sub folders and .ts files.

• In the root folder run tsc --init command (tsconfig.json file should be created). Edit your tsconfig.json if needed (change configuration etc.)

• In the root folder file run npm init command (package.json file should be created) Edit your package.json if needed (change configuration etc.)

• At this point your folder should look like:

src/
├─ some-file.ts
├─ some-inner-folder/
|  └─ some-file.ts
└─ package.json
└─ tsconfig.json

• Add some files to src folder compile and run.
