Left arrow icon Right arrow icon

Key benefits

  • Think in JavaScript
  • Make object-oriented programming accessible and understandable to web developers
  • Apply design patterns to solve JavaScript coding problems
  • Learn coding patterns that unleash the unique power of the language
  • Write better and more maintainable JavaScript code
  • Type in and play around with examples that can be used in your own scripts

Description

JavaScript is the behavior, the third pillar in today's paradigm that looks at web pages as something that consists of clearly distinguishable parts: content (HTML), presentation (CSS) and behavior (JavaScript). Using JavaScript, you can create not only web pages but also desktop widgets, browser and application extensions, and other pieces of software. It's a pretty good deal: you learn one language and then code all kinds of different applications. While there's one chapter specifically dedicated to the web browser environment including DOM, Events and AJAX tutorials, the rest is applicable to the other environments Many web developers have tried coding or adopting some bits of JavaScript, but it is time to "man up" and learn the language properly because it is the language of the browser and is, virtually, everywhere. This book starts from zero, not assuming any prior JavaScript programming knowledge and takes you through all the in-depth and exciting futures hidden behind the facade. Once listed in the "nice to have" sections of job postings, these days the knowledge of JavaScript is a deciding factor when it comes to hiring web developers. After reading this book you'll be prepared to ace your JavaScript job interview and even impress with some bits that the interviewer maybe didn't know. You should read this book if you want to be able to take your JavaScript skills to a new level of sophistication.

For new to intermediate JavaScript developer who wants to prepare themselves for web development problems solved by smart JavaScript!

this book is gold.I'm back a year later. I still use this book. If you are a developer or aspiring to be one.. do yourself a solid, buy this book and go through all the exercises at the end of the chapters. By that point you should have a nice foundation of JavaScript.

Der Titel beschreibt deutlich, worum es sich in diesem Werk handelt. Das Buch ist verständlich und fachlich solide. Mir hat es und wird es noch weiter helfen, das Konzept der klassenlosen Objekte mit Prototypen und seinen potentiellen Fallstricken besser zu verstehen und in Richtung Beherrschung zu marschieren. Ein gutes Buch mit klarer Kaufempfehlung.

If you want to take your Javascript skills to the next level this is a great book to start with. The explanations are to the point and short. The content is very rich and keep me wanting to dive in to learn more. For me this wasnt a book that you read just once and move on. I have referred to several chapters and/or concepts over and over to make sure I have a complete understanding. I do think the closure explanation with the image is better described in the 1st edition though.
