🚀 Advanced TypeScript Resources

A comprehensive collection of my Advanced TypeScript notes, explanations, examples, and interview-focused resources.

This repository serves as my personal knowledge base while revising TypeScript before diving into Advanced Node.js, Microservices, Next.js, and building larger production-ready applications.

The goal is not just to learn the syntax, but to deeply understand how TypeScript's type system works, why certain features exist, and how they are used in real-world projects.
