Obviously, our first stop is the official site for the language: http://www.typescriptlang.org. There, we can find a more extensive introduction to the language and links to IDEs and corporate supporters of this project. Nevertheless, the most important sections that we will definitely revisit more often are the learn section and the play sandbox.

The learn section gives us access to a quick tutorial to get up to speed with the language in no time. It might be interesting as a recap on what we discussed in the previous chapter, but we would suggest you skip it in favor of the sample pages and the language spec, the latter being a direct link to the full extensive documentation of the language at GitHub. This is a priceless resource for both new and experienced users.

The play section offers a convenient sandbox, including some readymade code examples, covering some of the most common traits of the language. We encourage you to leverage this tool to test out the code examples we will see throughout this chapter.
