JavaScript, TypeScript & SQL: Essential Reads for Every Developer

If you work with web apps, you’ve probably met JavaScript, TypeScript and SQL more than once. They each solve different problems: JavaScript makes pages interactive, TypeScript adds safety to that code, and SQL talks to databases. This tag page gathers the most useful articles we have on these three technologies, so you can quickly find the info you need without endless searching.

Why JavaScript Still Matters for SEO

Many wonder if JavaScript hurts search rankings. Our article Does JavaScript Help SEO? explains how Google crawls JavaScript, which patterns keep your site fast, and when to fall back to plain HTML. It gives concrete steps like using server‑side rendering for critical pages and lazy‑loading resources that aren’t needed at first glance. Follow the tips and you’ll avoid the common speed traps that push your site down in results.

TypeScript: Adding Confidence to Your Code

Even though the tag list doesn’t have a dedicated TypeScript post, the concepts appear throughout our JavaScript guides. TypeScript lets you catch type errors before they hit the browser, which saves hours of debugging. Start by renaming your .js files to .ts, add a tsconfig.json, and let the compiler point out mismatched data. The learning curve is small, and the payoff shows up in fewer runtime crashes.

SQL is the glue that stores and retrieves your data. In the article What Is Web Hosting? we touch on how hosting choices affect database performance. For fast queries, pick a provider with SSD storage and enable connection pooling. Write clear SELECT statements, avoid SELECT *, and index columns you filter on often. Those simple habits keep your app snappy even as traffic grows.

Putting it all together, a typical modern stack might look like: React (JavaScript) for the UI, TypeScript for type safety, Node.js on the backend, and PostgreSQL (SQL) for data. Our posts on JavaScript Backend or Frontend? and Most Loved Web Frameworks walk you through choosing the right tools for each layer. Combine those guides, and you’ll have a solid foundation to build anything from a simple blog to a complex e‑commerce site.
