    03:35 - Levels of using TypeScript

    1. Typing your code
    2. Typing your code, but getting a little bit more dynamic using utility types
    3. Creating your own utility types!

    07:29 - Partial

    08:23 - ReadOnly

    09:00 - Required

    09:33 - Record

    • A record is an object type that is a bit more restrictive
    • Say you want to store podcast details - name, URL, showCount, etc., but only for Syntax and Shoptalk.

    10:47 - Omit

    • I find this one handy when I want to create a “Create Item” type, where it has all the item fields except the ID field

    11:34 - Pick

    • Given a type, pick these properties

    12:39 - Return Types

    • Gives you the type that is returned from a function. Handy if you need to dynamically generate the type based on a passed function.

    13:30 - Case

    • These case types are useful for when you are doing template literal types
    • Uppercase
    • Lowercase
    • Capitalize
    • Uncapitalize
