Our take

Based on the ratings of 7,410 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in June 2026. No course pays to be reviewed.

Colt Steele's TypeScript course is an 11-hour tour of the language for people who already write JavaScript and want to add types without wading through a framework first. The syllabus shows 151 lectures across 19 sections, starting with basic annotations and functions, then interfaces, the compiler, classes, generics and type narrowing, before closing with Webpack and a React section. It's pitched at complete TypeScript beginners, and the reviews agree: this is a first course, not a reference for advanced type gymnastics.

Students praise how plainly he explains things. Reviewers call the teaching clear, easy to follow and lightly funny, and one says other TypeScript courses covered the same ground in a more complicated form. The rating is 4.7 from about 7,400 reviews, with 95 percent at four or five stars. The complaints are consistent. There are no coding exercises and only 7 quizzes, and a 4-star reviewer says practice dries up in the harder later topics. Another misses mapped types and keyof. A 3-star review says the React and Webpack sections need refreshing, despite a June 2026 update, and one calls it chunks of knowledge, not a connected project.

Value is fine for a paid course this size, and it's a shorter, syntax-first alternative to the project-heavy React and Next.js course listed beside it. If the goal is to understand what the compiler is complaining about and read typed code with confidence, this does the job in a weekend or two. Pair it with a real project, because the course won't supply one, and expect to look up mapped types and keyof elsewhere.

Best forJavaScript developers who want the whole TypeScript type system explained plainly before touching a framework.
Skip it ifYou want mapped types and keyof, or a big project to build; on the type system this stops at generics and narrowing.

Pros

  • Explanations reviewers call clear, calm and lightly funny, easy to follow for JavaScript developers
  • Goes past basic annotations into generics, type narrowing and type declarations
  • Ends with Webpack and React setup, so the tooling side is not left as homework
  • About 11 hours, short enough to finish; rated 4.7 from about 7,400 reviews

Cons

  • No coding exercises and only 7 quizzes; reviewers say practice thins out in the harder later sections
  • React and Webpack sections feel dated to some reviewers despite a June 2026 update
  • Skips mapped types and keyof, and lessons feel like separate chunks rather than one project
Colt has an engaging way of teaching by using humour, a soft tone and provides in-depth detail in context with the lesson. I found this course easy to follow.

Course Description

Welcome to the best resource online for mastering TypeScript.

TypeScript is a powerful superset of JavaScript that makes development smoother, safer, and helps you catch errors and avoid bugs early on. TypeScript adds a bunch of useful features to the JavaScript that you know and love. It helps you be a more productive developer and forces you to write better code.

TypeScript has skyrocketed in popularity to become one of the world’s most popular and loved programming languages. It has doubled in popularity every year since 2017, and it continues to grow at an astronomical rate. It’s definitely the right time to learn TypeScript!

This course covers all the syntax, features, and concepts you need to master TypeScript and start using it in your own codebases. We start with the very basics of the type system and cover everything up to incorporating TypeScript in React codebases and using Webpack with TypeScript.

Here’s a detailed breakdown of the topics the course covers:

  • The TypeScript type system

  • Union Types

  • Intersection Types

  • Tuples and Enums

  • Interfaces

  • The TypeScript compiler and how to configure it

  • Working with the DOM and TypeScript

  • TypeScript Classes

  • Generics

  • Type Narrowing

  • Type Declarations

  • Working with 3rd party libraries

  • Webpack + TypeScript workflows

  • Integrating React and TypeScript

  • TypeScript’s Module System

Enroll in this course to learn what TypeScript is, why it’s so popular, and how to use it!

Instructor Details

Colt Steele

Hi! I'm Colt. I'm a developer with a serious love for teaching. I've spent the last few years teaching people to program at 2 different immersive bootcamps where I've helped hundreds of people become web developers and change their lives. My graduates work at companies like Google, Salesforce, and Square.

Most recently, I led Galvanize's SF's 6 month immersive program as Lead Instructor and Curriculum Director. After graduating from my class, 94% of my students went on to receive full-time developer roles. I also worked at Udacity as a Senior Course Developer on the web development team where I got to reach thousands of students daily.

I’ve since focused my time on bringing my classroom teaching experience to an online environment. In 2016 I launched my Web Developer Bootcamp course, which has since gone on to become one of the best selling and top rated courses on Udemy. I was also voted Udemy’s Best New Instructor of 2016.

I've spent years figuring out the "formula" to teaching technical skills in a classroom environment, and I'm really excited to finally share my expertise with you. I can confidently say that my online courses are without a doubt the most comprehensive ones on the market.

Join me on this crazy adventure!

De los 4 o 5 cursos que tengo del profesor, en todos cumple y supera mis expectativas, ya que su explicación es siempre clara, entretenida y aprendo bastante. Sabe combinar bien la teoría con ejercicios de codificación y proyectos, lo que me permite terminar el curso con el tema bien aprendido, solo me falta ponerlo en práctica y aplicarlo a mis propios proyectos.

I have skimmed through some other courses on Typescript too. However, I realized quickly that I am getting the same thing in a complicated form. For someone who wants to start with Typescript, I recommend this course. When you want to start with React or some other framework, you will automatically learn the neety-greety on utilizing or setting up Typescript for those. No need to get the information encapsulated in usage wrapper.

By Usman Iqbal on 8/8/2026

This course is really good at providing the foundational knowledge in TypeScript. I like how it includes some more advanced topics, such as generics. It includes using Typescript for Classes and the basics of DOM manipulation & React. I personally didn't find the webpack section interesting, but it's good to have. The main downside was the lack of exercises/challenges in the later topics (which are also the more difficult topics). Practice is what consolidates knowledge and helps students to think for themselves.

By Daniel Gläsner on 5/29/2026

A solid introduction to the basics of TypeScript. However, the course feels more like separate chunks of knowledge rather than a connected learning path built around a real project. I would have liked to apply the concepts while building something practical.

By Richard Acquaye on 5/19/2026

I highly recommend this course. Colt has an engaging way of teaching by using humour, a soft tone and provides in-depth detail in context with the lesson. I found this course easy to follow.

By David McDonnell on 2/13/2026

Very easy to follow. well explained a lot of detail many snips identifying information sources about the subject. A very good refresher course. highly recommended.

By Morten Lejboelle on 1/10/2026

Great course focusing on the essentials of TS instead of trying to make a 50 hour course including everything in the world. Straight to the point explaining TS and strikes the balance well with explaining things quickly and accurately but don't overdo it in crazy detail such as other courses sometimes do and you are just waiting to move on.

By Anonymized User on 1/9/2026

Experienced and professional lecturer. I really enjoyed the short lectures and mixed with only few questions here and there. Great mix of coding examples that is adaptable and useful in real life. He has a good structure and nice extra material to look into. The only reason why it didn't get the top stars is because I found it a bit strong with the yellow/orange theme in the changing slides and some of the animations was not really to my taste. But that is a personal perspection. In the big whole, great course. Thank you!

By Lucas Hahne on 1/6/2026

That course really excells in teaching more than the fundamentals. I would always recommend it. The spead is great for everyone who already has a good understanding of Javascript and Typescript

By Alberto Saborio Gonzalez on 1/5/2026

I just wanna commend you on how good of a teacher you are. I never fully understood setters and getters. The explanaitions of previous videos I saw were not really clear. The way you explain it is consice and simple and I was able to really understand it in a couple of minutes. You are the best teacher i have found on Udemy so far!!
