If you’re a JavaScript developer, chances are, you’ve heard about TypeScript. In this talk, I want to share an alternative approach to incrementally enable type-checking without all the tooling.

JSDocs allows you to can introduce type-checking into your project bit-by-bit as it makes sense. You can stick to working within JavaScript projects, or adopt TypeScript syntax when and were it makes sense for you and your team.

I break it into four stages:
- Enabling type-checking in a JavaScript file
- Enabling type-checking in a whole JavaScript project
- Integrating type-checking into CI/CD Pipeline
- Generating type definitions for Open-Source Libraries

To get even more out of this talk, bring your own JavaScript project. Everything we cover can be applied to an existing project :)
