What you'll learn in this TypeScript course
A REPL, or Read-Eval-Print Loop, is a simple interactive programming environment that takes user input, evaluates it, and returns the result to the user. In this guided project, you'll build a Pokedex-like REPL in TypeScript that uses the PokeAPI to fetch data about Pokemon. It's a great way to put your TypeScript knowledge to the test and learn valuable skills like HTTP networking and data serialization.

Felt like a pretty okay course, definitely learned stuff. I don't really understand why reviews are so overwhelmingly negative but the pacing is definitely kinda off and the last few lessons really need proper checks

One of the most fun projects in Bootdev. Totally recommended.

Horrible instructions that are based on "I've created something on my end that you don't really know about or can see, you should implement something similar." Very bad and vague explanations of what you expect of people to try/do. One of the worst courses in this whole ordeal

Feels a little unfinished (especially because the last few steps lack proper validation), but did a great job of teaching fetching stuff from web API

Excellent course for learning about APIs, JSON, and using some of the type features in TypeScript. Harder than I thought it would be, but well worth it!

Very challenging, but fun.

This was a challenging project but certainly do-able if you've done the other courses recommended in the paths before this. It was great to get real hands-on experience working with api calls and json, and watching the pokedex work was really satisfying!

Challenging course. You have to figure out a lot on your own, which is good.

The project was fun to build learned a lot had to chat with boots most of the time . Overall a solid project but the instructions were horrible for a beginner.
