Is It Worth Migrating to TypeScript?

For the past year I’ve been working on a JavaScript project for my client. We have a mid-size web application. We use React as the web development framework. Few months ago we decided to start migrating to TypeScript.

Today I can say that it was the best decision we could make. TypeScript makes working with JavaScript, which is sometimes surprising and quite hard to understand, so much better experience. However, there were some challenges on this journey. If you want to know what issues we met and how we solved them, but also what huge advantages TypeScript gave us – read on 😉

I will not discuss TypeScript itself in this article. This is a pure recap of challenges and the experience I gained when migrating to TypeScript.

Dotnetos Conference 2018 – .NET Performance World

On the 5th of November 2018 I had a pleasure to attend Dotnetos Conference in Warsaw. It was a first conference oriented towards a single topic – .NET performance – I took part in.

I didn’t know what to expect from this event, as it was much smaller than other conferences I used to attend and actually organized by 3 .NET geeks (more about them later 🙂 ).

In today’s post I’d like to share with you my feelings about the event. I’d also like to smuggle some topics that were covered during the sessions, so you can stay up-to-date with .NET performance world’s trends and dig into them yourself.
