Explaining the current courses: a beginner course released last year and the older advanced TypeScript course that needs revamping.
2:50 - 4:00
The new course will focus on practical, day-to-day usage of TypeScript beyond just the basics.
4:00 - 5:15
Discussion about integrating TypeScript with build tools and the necessity of transpiling before getting to the browser.
5:15 - 6:31
The importance of being practical and relevant in the updated curriculum, especially for developers using React and Angular.
6:31 - 8:16
Comparison of old versus new ways of working with TypeScript and build tools, including Babel.
8:16 - 9:45
The significance of browser compatibility and how it ties into using Babel.
9:45 - 10:33
Plan to focus on fundamental topics like modules, decorators, and generics in the course.
