What are the best TypeScript resources (books, courses, videos) for a beginner in 2024? (Asking for a @ted).

The TypeScript docs are great https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/typescript-in-5-minutes.html

I would also recommend using strict to develop a trivial project. It you do this with algebraic data types you’ll learn a lot from the compiler alone

When I had first learned JavaScript the general approach was more implementing general functional programming (it is Scheme in C’s clothing after all). When I was later learning TypeScript this tended to be the case as well. More recently, I think Matt Pocock has covered the more advanced type based feature best

Proofs of Turing completeness are also great

Beyond this the Vue Docs, Elm, OCaml, Haskel are great for learning general design patterns and functional programming, albeit from a fairly wide variety of subjects
