Abstract
Effective TypeScript development requires an understanding of how JavaScript deals with data types. This can be a disappointment to developers who adopt TypeScript because they found JavaScript confusing, but understanding JavaScript makes understanding TypeScript easier and provides valuable insights into what TypeScript offers and how its features work. In this chapter, I introduce the basic JavaScript type features, continuing with more advanced features in Chapter 4.
