Structured Data 📦

Intro to Structured Data

👨‍💼 Welcome back! In the previous workshop, you mastered primitive types. Now it's time to work with structured data—the way real applications organize information.

In this workshop, we'll explore how to model real data, not just primitives.

We'll cover:

Objects - Grouping related data together with named properties
Arrays - Working with lists of values
Spread and Rest - Immutable updates and variable arguments
Destructuring - Extracting values from objects and arrays cleanly
Array Methods - Transforming data with map, filter, and reduce
Object Methods - Turning objects into arrays and back again
Maps and Sets - Specialized data structures for lookup and uniqueness

This workshop moves you from writing "scripts" to building data-driven programs. You'll learn patterns used in every real-world TypeScript application.

By the end of this workshop, you'll be able to:

Define and work with typed objects
Create and manipulate arrays with type safety
Use spread/rest for immutable updates and flexible functions
Extract values cleanly with destructuring
Transform data with functional array methods
Read and transform objects with built-in object methods
Use maps for lookups and sets for uniqueness

Let's model some data! 📊
