[dba-VS] TypeScript

[Salakhetdinov Shamil]

 Hi Gustav et al --

I have just finished the revised TypeScript EdX course.
I have been working through it on MS Windows 8.1 but I have been using just sublime and gulp.

Thank you Gustav for your pointing on this course!
It was a fun :)

Waiting for 'Advanced TypeScript' course...
