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

This course helped me answer many questions as someone who is a beginner in typescript, especially those that are related tsconfig. I am now more confident to proceed with other courses knowing I won't be lost if the course is using typescript. I appreciate the instructor Anjana for her energy and beginner friendly style of teaching (and the memes).

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.

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.
