Getting Started with the ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.x and TypeScript

Description
The purpose of this workshop is to help attendees get started with Version 4.x of the ArcGIS API for JavaScript and TypeScript and will consist of two parts. Part one will begin by covering core JavaScript principles pertinent to the API, debugging code, the use of the Visual Studio Code Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for application development, and basic use of ESLint, an analysis tool for finding and fixing problems in JavaScript code. Attendees will then apply what they've learned and evolve their programming skills by working through a series of application examples, each of which will demonstrate core capabilities of the ArcGIS API for JavaScript. Part two of the workshop will begin with an introduction to TypeScript, its use, and its value. Attendees will then gain an appreciation for the benefits of TypeScript by upgrading the code samples created in part one of the workshop.
