In this video, we break down the core project structure—including node_modules, package.json, and package-lock.json—and dive deep into tsconfig.json (the TypeScript “Rule Book”). You’ll learn how the TypeScript Compiler (TSC) works and how to set up your rootDir and outDir settings for clean, professional builds.
