Anjana Vakil

Software Engineer & Educator

Anjana suffers from a chronic case of curiosity, which led her from philosophy to English teaching to computational linguistics to software development. As a freelance engineer & educator, these days she mostly codes & teaches from her home base in San Francisco, when not traveling (in a mask) to events around the world to speak about the joy of programming and advocate for a more equitable & ethical tech industry. Nerd out with her about functional programming & JavaScript, ask her about the Recurse Center & Outreachy, and definitely invite her to your karaoke party!

TypeScript: From First Steps to Professional

What They're Saying

Anjana really made understanding Typescript super easy. Her jolly way of teaching was awesome. I'm glad I now understand TS in a way that allows me to grow more with the language as I continue using it in my projects.

This might be the best coding course I've ever taken. This is so informative and well done. I love that so much of the hands-on is optional, so I can skip what I know and practice what's new. And the pop culture references are fantastic!! There's enough to keep an old guy like me entertained, and enough stuff I didn't get so I imagine younger folks will enjoy it too.

Andrew Vieau

This course is amazing! I started learning JavaScript, and I usually have a gap between ‘I know’ and ‘I know how to use it,’ but this course helped me understand many things.

Rahian Santos

Great course. Instructor explained things well.

Phil Stubbs

This was an excellent course, very comprehensive and covering areas of TS needed to learn more about, like configuration with tsconfig.

Jose Espejo

Really well organized and structured course! The exercises are small but super effective, and the explanations make it easy to understand the concepts. Overall, a great course with tons of value.
