This video demonstrates how to set up Visual Studio Code to run and debug typescript code. We will cover running typescript when installed globally (with npm install -g typescript), and running the typescript version that is included in a package.json inside your project.

I'll also show you how to debug Typescript using the node js debugger which is included in VS Code, for a complete development experience. Everything in this video is using native features of Visual Studio Code, no extensions!
