• 2 *.d.ts files are typescript declarations that allow you to use pure javascript libraries in typescript (e.g jQuery), without having to convert them into type-safe code. The main references.d.ts file is picked up by the tspiler and usually references all other d.ts files. Depending on config the references.d.ts file is usually in the project root.

The reference.d.ts file can be added to your project in the root directory, prior to NativeScript 3.0+ it was included in typescript and angular template projects. It is used to add external type definitions to your project such as tns-platform-declarations. I believe however since that tutorial is a year old you won't need to add the reference.d.ts file to import those anymore and the typescript piler should pull them in automatically.
