## Quickstart Clone this repo or [open in Gitpod](https://gitpod.io/#https://github.com/total-typescript/beginners-typescript). ```sh # Installs all dependencies npm install # Starts the first exercise npm run exercise 01 # Runs linting and tests on the solution npm run solution 01 ``` ## Video Walkthrough I walked through the first few exercises on [VSCode's live stream](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6dO9u0M7MQ)! The plan for these exercises is to develop them into a full workshop, and then bundle them into the full video course - [Total TypeScript](https://totaltypescript.com). ## How to take the course You'll notice that the course is split into exercises. Each exercise is split into a `*.problem.ts` and a `*.solution.ts`. To take an exercise: 1. Go into `*.problem.ts` 2. Run `npm run exercise 01`, where `01` is the number of the exercise you're on. The `exercise` script will run TypeScript typechecks and a test suite on the exercise. This course encourages **active, exploratory learning**. In the video, I'll explain a problem, and **you'll be asked to try to find a solution**. To attempt a solution, you'll need to: 1. Check out [TypeScript's docs](https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/intro.html) 2. Try to find something that looks relevant. 3. Give it a go to see if it solves the problem. You'll know if you've succeeded because the tests will pass. **If you succeed**, or **if you get stuck**, unpause the video and check out the `*.solution.ts`. You can see if your solution is better or worse than mine! You can run `npm run solution 01` to run the tests and typechecking on the solution. ## Acknowledgements Say thanks to Matt on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/mattpocockuk) or by joining his [Discord](https://discord.gg/8S5ujhfTB3). Consider signing up to his [Total TypeScript course](https://totaltypescript.com). ## Reference ### `npm run exercise 01` Alias: `npm run e 01` Run the corresponding `*.problem.ts` file. ### `npm run solution 01` Alias: `npm run s 01` Run the corresponding `*.solution.ts` file. If there are multiple, it runs only the first one.
