+
+This section provides TypeScript-specific tips & tricks for you to make the best out of the ecosystem.
+
+## Strict mode
+
+The `--strict` compiler flag was introduced in TypeScript 2.3 which activates TypeScript's "strict mode". The strict mode sets all strict typechecking options to `true` by default.
+
+As of TypeScript 2.6, the affected options are:
+
+* `--noImplicitAny`
+* `--noImplicitThis`
+* `--alwaysStrict`
+* `--strictNullChecks`
+* `--strictFunctionTypes`
+
+Starting from version 2.0 of the starter kit, we've enabled the `--strict` flag in `tsconfig.json`. If this gives you compile time errors, you can try setting `"strict"` to `false`, or by overriding one or more of the options listed above.

+
+## TSLint
+
+TSLint checks your TypeScript code for readability, maintainability, and functionality errors, and can also enforce coding style standards.
+
+[TODO: describe TSlint rules used in brief]
+
+### Customising TSLint
+
+You can also customise your `tslint.json` file to match the preferences of your codebase. Click [here](https://palantir.github.io/tslint/usage/configuration/), to find out how, and click [here](https://palantir.github.io/tslint/rules/) for a complete list of rules available.
+
+If you believe that some rules should not apply to a part of your code (e.g. for one-off cases like having to use `require()` to include a module), you can use flags to let TSLint know about it: https://palantir.github.io/tslint/usage/rule-flags/
