A desire to code 3D web applications in Threejs and TypeScript

Welcome to my course on Three.js and Typescript.

In this course we will learn all about Three.js, write it in TypeScript, and also write a HTML client and server component using NodeJS.

The course is in 4 main sections,

1. Setting up the development environment and installing TypeScript

2. An quick introduction course to TypeScript suitable for Bners

3. Creating the three.js master project template with the client HTML and the NodeJS server

4. The main threejs course content with demonstrations and code examples.

If you have experience with TypeScript, then you can skip part 2.

At the bning of part 4, I also provide a pre created copy of the project template that was created in part 3. So you can also bypass section 3 in case you want to get straight into the details of Threejs.

Since this course is written in TypeScript, section 2 and 3 contain very useful information that will help you to understand the additional TypeScript syntax and concepts I use throughout this course.

All code is provided in the accompanying documentation so that you can easily copy and paste, in case you don't want to pause the video and copy from the screen.

TypeScript introduces type safety in our code which makes it much more robust and gives the IDE extra tools such as intellisence that we can use to help us find and understand the available Threejs properties and methods and code much faster.

Thanks for taking part in my course, and I will see you there.
