I checked the reviews on https://learning.oreilly.com/library/view/learning-typescript/9781098110321/ and found this one:

The problem is mainly that the exercises don't jell well with the content in the book. I mean it might be better titled as the Javascript Developer Guide to Typescript or something like that. The main problem is the the following

The problem is that it goes from 0 to 100 really quick -- better thought out test cases, more help on using vscode to setup a test environment etc would make it a better read.

I think there are two issues here:

• The reviewer came in thinking this book would teach JS
• The projects don't do a good job of ramping up on fundamental VS Code <> TypeScript skills

The former I can't help with much at this point. It's mentioned in the opening chapter but I can understand how it'd be easy to miss. Something to think about if we do a second edition.

The latter is a very good point and something I'd like to address. I think it'd be a good idea to add a first project that's relatively simple, and walks the user through using VS Code's TypeScript support.
