If you are new to TypeScript, you might first want to check out typescriptlang.org or the many other resources on the web (e.g., What is TypeScript and why would I use it in place of JavaScript?) before diving straight in here.
To try out the Scrivito SDK’s TypeScript beta, just install the latest version of the SDK:
As an example, here’s how the “BlogOverviewWidget” class from the Scrivito Example Application would look like in TypeScript:

As you can see, the BlogOverviewWidget argument informs TypeScript that the widget prop is a Scrivito.Widget, and hence, get can be called on it.
[New in 1.27.0]It also informs TypeScript about the type of the values get returns from the widget. For example, the result of widget.get("tags") is automatically assumed to be of the string[] type since tags is defined as stringlist. Analogously, widget.get("maxItems") is assumed to return a number | null.
