     ## Prepare for TypeScript Compilation
 
-    ### Add links to TypeScript definition files
-
-    We prefer writing TypeScript apps in editors that understand TypeScript,
-    such as [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/) and
-    [Web Storm](https://www.jetbrains.com/webstorm/features/).
-    Such editors improve the development experience by checking type information and
-    displaying API documentation ("intellisense") based on TypeScript definition files (`.d.ts`).
-
-    The definition files we need are included in the npm packages we just installed.
-    We'll use the
-    [**tsd package manager**](https://www.npmjs.com/package/tsd "TSD Package Manager")
-    to generate an *aggregate TypeScript definition file*, **`tsd.d.ts`**,
-    that holds links to the type definition files in those packages.
-
-    In the ***root* folder** enter the following command
-    (one of the `npm` scripts we added a short while ago)
-
-  pre.prettyprint.lang-bash
-    code npm run tsd
-
-  :markdown
-    That produces a new **`src/typings`** folder with the **`tsd.d.ts`** file.
-
-    Now type-checking and intellisense light up automatically as we write our app
-    in the Visual Studio Code and Web Storm editors. Check your editor's documentation for
-    instructions on using the `tsd.d.ts` file.

-      When the `noImplicitAny` flag is `true`, the compiler demands that we supply type information
-      unless the compiler can infer the type. It won't allow an identifier to default to the `any` type.
-      This setting is a preference, not a mandate.
-
-      Many of us prefer `noImplicitAny` because we want the TypeScript compiler to enforce type-safety vigorously.
-      That's one of the reasons we are writing our app in TypeScript.
-      Other people set this flag to `false` because they prefer more relaxed type checking.
-      Folks new to TypeScript are sometimes overwhelmed by the rigor;
-      they too may set the flag to `false` .. while they learn.

+    ### Appendix: TypeScript configuration
+    We added a TypeScript configuration file (`tsconfig.js`) to our project to
+    guide the compiler as it generates JavaScript files.
+    Get details about `tsconfig.js` from the official
+    [TypeScript wiki](https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/wiki/tsconfig.json).
+
+    We'd like a moment to discuss the `noImplicitAny` flag.
+    TypeScript developers disagree about whether it should be `true` or `false`.
+    There is no correct answer and we can change the flag later.
+    But our choice now can make a difference in larger projects so it merits
+    discussion.
+
+    When the `noImplicitAny` flag is `false`,
+    the compiler silently defaults the type of a variable to `any` if it cannot infer
+    the type based on how the variable is used. That's what we mean by "implicitly `any`".
+
+    When the `noImplicitAny` flag is `true` and the TypeScript compiler cannot infer
+    the type, it still generates the JavaScript files but
+    it also reports an error.
+
+    For this project and the other examples in this Developer Guide
+    we set the `noImplicitAny` flag to `false`.
+    Developers who prefer stricter type checking should set the `noImplicitAny` flag to `true`.
+    We can still set a variable's type to `any` if
+    that seems like the best choice. We'd be doing so explicitly after
+    giving the matter some thought.
+
+    If we set the `noImplicitAny` flag to `true`, we may get implicit index errors as well.
+    If we feel these are more annoying than helpful,
+    we can suppress them with the following additional flag.
+    ```
+    "suppressImplicitAnyIndexErrors":true
+    ```
