Learn the full potential of TypeScript by using advanced features like Type Inference, Type Guards, Generics, Transformers, and Utility Types with asynchronous programming in both Node.js (using Express.js) and Bun.js (using Hono.js), all while understanding best practices for building strongly typed APIs with different databases.
Overview
In this workshop, we’ll kick off with a discussion on the recent updates in Node.js and Bun.js, focusing on their built-in TypeScript support. You'll learn how to set up TypeScript in both runtimes and create strictly typed APIs using Express.js and Hono.js. Through hands-on demos, we'll explore integration with various databases like MongoDB and Postgres, leveraging advanced TypeScript features to build robust applications. By the end of the workshop, you'll be equipped with the knowledge to optimize TypeScript code for performance and design patterns, ensuring your APIs are both efficient and maintainable.
