How can you survive a project that uses JavaScript massively on both the
client and the server using node.js? The project is about on-line
development components, such as the TypeScript playground
(http://www.typescriptlang.org/Playground/) or Visual Studio Online
“Monaco”, which enables users to edit Azure Web Sites online. We had an
existing large JavaScript code base and we wanted to give TypeScript a
try. Today the project is one of the largest TypeScript code bases
inside Microsoft with more than 200k lines of TypeScript in production.
This session gives a quick introduction into TypeScript and then takes a
deep look at how TypeScript and other technologies were used to
successfully scale up a large JavaScript project that ships in some of
Microsoft’s biggest products and services
