Plug-in architecture: how TypeScript let us paint-by-numbers
When faced with challenges in supporting multiple package managers and keeping up with growth, implementing a plugin architecture can help. Extending a CLI for source control management systems like GitHub and GitLab can be done using TypeScript and Oclef CLI. TypeScript errors can be resolved by adding missing properties and implementing required functions for plugins. Supporting multiple repositories by following TypeScript errors and having the right setup can reduce time to production and onboarding. Plugin architecture with TypeScript can be a valuable tool for faster development and onboarding onto repositories.
TypeScript for Library Authors: Harnessing the Power of TypeScript for DX

TypeScript for Library Authors: Harnessing the Power of TypeScript for DX
TypeScript for library authors offers benefits for both internal and external use, improving code quality and providing accurate understanding of libraries. Documentation and examples should be in code to provide up-to-date information. Testing types alongside unit tests ensures accurate typing. Managing changes and exposing types requires careful versioning. Deep integration of types improves usability. Using a map in TypeScript allows for simpler implementation and customization. Leveraging types in libraries can generate code based on user access. TypeScript integration with Nuxt provides support and type declarations.
Understanding types as sets

Understanding types as sets
This Talk explores the concept of types and their relationship to variables in TypeScript, including primitive types, special types, and literal types. It also delves into unions and intersections of types, their canonical form, and their effect on sets of values. The Talk discusses object types, their defined members, and the behavior of access property checks. It highlights how unions and intersections can be used with objects and how they are reduced to a canonical form. The importance of base types in TypeScript and how they allow variables to hold instances of any subtype is also emphasized.

Writing universal modules for Deno, Node, and the browser
Deno is a modern runtime for TypeScript and JavaScript that runs out of the box and is secure by default. The Talk covers building a greeting message library with Deno, compiling Deno libraries for Node consumers, setting up the editor and writing code, writing tests and running them with dnotest, code formatting, linting, and publishing, publishing to NPM and running tests, and building and publishing the NPM package. The speaker emphasizes the ease of use and integration of Deno's tooling system.

How to build distributed systems in TypeScript
This Talk discusses building distributed systems in TypeScript, focusing on an e-commerce store and implementing a create order endpoint. It covers handling retry and error cases, saving order state, handling crashes and duplicate orders, and the process order function and architecture. The Talk also introduces Temporal, a durable code execution framework that simplifies fault-tolerant software development.
Alternatives to TypeScript

Alternatives to TypeScript
This Talk explores alternatives to TypeScript such as Clojure, Flow, and Hagel, highlighting their unique features and syntax. Flow and Hagel make finer distinctions between types and prioritize safety. TypeScript offers quick fixes for inferring types. Hagel aims for fewer type annotations and increased safety. These alternatives can provide insights and understanding of TypeScript.
Type Safety at Runtime in Typescript

Type Safety at Runtime in Typescript
TypeScript does not have runtime type checking, but there are libraries available for runtime type validation. ZAD is a popular runtime type validation library in the React ecosystem, offering schema primitives for specific validations on primitive types and support for complex data like objects and arrays. ZAD also provides methods for parsing values and handling successful or failed parsing with error objects.

Advanced TypeScript types for fun and reliability
Workshop
If you're looking to get the most out of TypeScript, this workshop is for you! In this interactive workshop, we will explore the use of advanced types to improve the safety and predictability of your TypeScript code. You will learn when to use types like unknown or never. We will explore the use of type predicates, guards and exhaustive checking to make your TypeScript code more reliable both at compile and run-time. You will learn about the built-in mapped types as well as how to create your own new type map utilities. And we will start programming in the TypeScript type system using conditional types and type inferring.
