Hello Mikha,<br />
<br />
Typescript is nothing but a &quot;modern&quot; Javascript development language. <br />
With Typescript you can write simple Javascript code. <br />
It can run Server side (on node.js) or with any browser supporting ecmascript3.<br />
<br />
Typescript is recommended for large &quot;JavaScript&quot; projects and is easily deployable.

Hello Mikha,

Typescript is nothing but a "modern" Javascript development language.
With Typescript you can write simple Javascript code.
It can run Server side (on node.js) or with any browser supporting ecmascript3.

Typescript is recommended for large "JavaScript" projects and is easily deployable.

I am planning to javascript, but I started reading about typescript as well. <br />
I don't understand the relation between these two yet. <br />
<br />
is typescript totally different language, or is javascript derived from typescript or the other way around.

javascript vs typescript

JavaScript is a dynamic, object-based language commonly used for client-side scripting in web browsers. Recently, server side JavaScript frameworks have also emerged. JavaScript runs on nearly every operating system and  in almost every mainstream web browser.

Web development can range from developing the simplest static single page of plain text to the most complex web-based internet applications, electronic businesses, and social network services using a wide variety of languages and standards, including the familiar HTML, JavaScript and jQuery, ASP and ASP.NET, PHP, ColdFusion, CSS, PHP, Flex and Flash, but also the implementation of a broad list of standards including XML, WSDL, SSDL, VoiceXML and many more.
