TypeScript

What's TypeScript? TypeScript is a language that allows you to write in a statically-typed language that outputs standard JavaScript. It's all kinds of awesome.

Why should I use it? This will be especially helpful for an OS or a Compiler that may need to run in the browser as you will have all of the great benefits of type checking built right into your language.

Where can I get more info on TypeScript Right this way!

Setup

1. Install the npm package manager if you don't already have it.
2. Run npm install -g typescript to get the TypeScript Compiler. (You may need to do this as root.)

Gulp

Gulp will automatically:

• Watch for changes in your source/scripts/ directory for changes to .ts files and run the TypeScript Compiler on them.
• Watch for changes to your source/styles/ directory for changes to .css files and copy them to the distrib/ folder if you have them there.

Where can I get more info on Gulp? Right this way!

Setup

1. npm install gulp to get the Gulp Task Runner.
2. npm install gulp-tsc to get the Gulp TypeScript plugin.

Run gulp at the command line in the root directory of this project. Edit your TypeScript files in the source/scripts directory in your favorite editor.
