TypeScript enhances JavaScript by adding static typing, which helps catch errors early in the development process, leading to more reliable and maintainable code. It improves developer productivity with features like autocompletion and intelligent code navigation, making collaboration easier and refactoring safer. Additionally, TypeScript supports modern JavaScript features and seamlessly integrates with existing JavaScript code, allowing for gradual adoption in projects. These benefits collectively result in higher code quality and a more robust development experience.

Agenda

1. What is TypeScript?
2. Type Annotations
3. Union and Intersection Types
4. Interfaces
5. Classes
6. Demo Code
7. Q&A

We delved into TypeScript's core concepts such as Type Annotations, which enhance code clarity and error detection; Union and Intersection Types, which provide flexibility in defining complex types; Interfaces, which ensure consistent object structures; and Classes, which bring powerful object-oriented programming features to JavaScript.

Additionally, we presented a live coding demo to showcase these concepts in action, followed by a Q&A segment to address all your queries and deepen your understanding of TypeScript.
