I already have node Js installed and I have created a folder in E drive with name TypescriptLesson Now when i run this command  E://TypescriptLesson>npm install -g typescript
it shows below    C:\Users\Plan Int>npm install -g typescript C:\Users\Plan Int\AppData\Roaming
pm	sc -> C:\Users\Plan Int\AppData\Roaming
pm
ode_modules	ypescript\bin	sc C:\Users\Plan Int\AppData\Roaming
pm	sserver -> C:\Users\Plan Int\AppData\Roaming
pm
ode_modules	ypescript\bin	sserver + typescript@3.8.3 updated 1 package in 1.86s ---
now checking tsc --version says tsc is not recognized i use command promot   but when i type the same for node js command prompt it shows the version number . but after creating a new directory with mkdir hello and then going to cd hello , when i type code main.ts it says ts is not recognized so i trust i have wrong something with installation

Yes typescript is essential but if you came from a Java or .net background then it will be easier. Typescript follows oops concept which js doesn't. Spend some time in typescript and then jump to angular. Thanks

Hi Mark,   It is my personal experience,   I have started working in Angular and Typescript both together from last year. Trust me, it would be really beneficial for you if you learn typescript first and it will be very useful. It's because in the end we have to write the main logic of our code in Typescript only.   Angular8 will structure your project but in the end we need Typescript to complete those functionalities and core logic for our project.

Hello Mark,    TypeScript helps you to organize the Javascript logic as any server-side language like interface, constructors, etc.,. For your question, if you are a background from .NET or Java, you can directly jump-in to learn Angular. Even If you are new, you can get some basic understanding of a TypeScript enough to start with Angular.
