[dba-VS] TypeScript

[Gustav Brock]

Hi Shamil

Congratulations! And you had your troubles with gulp worked out, I presume.

I have seen no follow-up course yet, but edX sends me mails about all kinds of courses, so I'm sure they will tell.

 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...

>    interface IArtStyle {
>        name: string;

>        constructor(artStyle: IArtStyle) {
>            this.name = artStyle.name;
>        }

>Effectively, as you can see, this holds nothing more than a string.
