These are just to name a couple off the top of my head. Creating dynamic, reusable components is simply not possible, without using an existing framework or creating your own, because the web component’s API is very limited and doesn’t handle the data binding. Component-based composition of your frontend views, with JS compiling your templates to HTML, is at the heart of modern frameworks like React and Vue, but has been around since AngularJS. This is the biggest thing that AngularJS got right. Whether the framework is fully MVC, MVVM, or just a view layer, they all have a way to bind some state to a view and keep them in sync. Keeping the UI view synced up with the state of your frontend application is the primary reason for all front-end frameworks. Interestingly, even though they are now a thing of the past (replaced mostly by React and Vue), the issues that these frontend frameworks address have not changed much. Back then, AngularJS reigned supreme, Backbone.js had a decent market share, and Ember was the hot up-and-comer (pun intended).

JavaScript frameworks have been around since I first got into web development back in late 2012.

Take the time to consider the error messages TypeScript gives you and I guarantee your code will improve significantly. That’s okay! It is your friend and it wants you to be a better programmer.

Yes, the compiler is going to yell at you…a lot. It still amazes me how often the TypeScript compiler catches a bug that I did not see at first. TypeScript is incredibly powerful and there is much more to learn than simple type annotations, but this first step will prevent you from regularly shooting yourself in the foot.

By “the basics” I mean: how to add type annotations to your variables, class properties, function arguments, and function return values. With that in mind, I recommend that you learn the basics of TypeScript as soon as possible. TypeScript alleviates these issues through adding strong typing and the ability to create readonly properties (among many other wonderful things). It is all too easy to write side-effect-vulnerable code when you are passing around variables and data objects that have no type contracts and no immutability. JavaScript is a loosely typed, dynamic programming language. This recommendation has less to do with JavaScript than it does with best coding practices. However, I believe in TypeScript so strongly that I had to include it. I debated with myself for probably an hour on whether or not to include this, since this is a post about learning JavaScript and TypeScript is not JavaScript it is a super-set of it and requires a build step to use.
