Learning TypeScript

Context

I work with data & machine learning, mostly running experiments, building 1-week prototypes & ML systems (>1k queries/sec, <140ms). I know Python, Scala, SQL, and basic HTML/CSS.

To decide on what to learn in 2021, I ran two polls on Twitter (400 votes) and LinkedIn (200 votes). Based on the comments from friends in both polls, I decided that TypeScript (+ React) would be most fun and practical for me to pick up.

Lesson plan (TypeScript)
