JavaScript for .NET Developers

Chapter 1. JavaScript for Modern Web Applications

The growth in web development evolved with a rapid pace in recent years. Most of the business applications that developed on a desktop platform are now shifted to the web platform, and the reason is the ease of access and continuous addition of rich capabilities on the web platform. Typically, any web application that provides the characteristics of the desktop applications is considered as rich web application. Thus, it involves extensive use of JavaScript and its frameworks and libraries.

JavaScript plays an important role in developing rich applications and allows developers to do less server-side post-backs and call server-side functions through ajaxified requests. Not only this, but now many companies and communities are developing good frameworks such as Angular, Knockout, ReactJS, and so on to bring state-of-the-art and groundbreaking capabilities. Microsoft has also released the WinJS library to access mobile native device features such as camera, storage, and so on from a web application running on mobile browsers. myNFC is also a great JavaScript library that allows developers to create applications for smartphones.

Key benefits

  • Boost your skillset and start bringing JavaScript into your web development projects
  • Leverage your existing ASP.NET knowledge to develop dynamic and responsive SPAs
  • Learn effective design patterns for sustainable, and scalable web development

Description

If you want to improve responsiveness or the UX in your ASP.NET applications, JavaScript can be a life saver. In an age where server-side operations have shifted to the client, being able to handle JavaScript with confidence and fluency is vital for ASP.NET developers. There’s no point trying to fight it, so start learning with this book. Make sure your projects exceed user expectations. Begin by getting stuck into the basics of JavaScript, and explore the language in the context of ASP.NET Core. You’ll then find out how to put the principles into practice, as you learn how to develop a basic ASP.NET application using Angular 2 and TypeScript. You’ll also develop essential skills required to develop responsive apps, with a little help from AJAX, ensuring that you’re building projects that can be easily accessed across different devices. With guidance on Node.js and some neat techniques to test and debug a range of JavaScript libraries in Visual Studio, you’ll soon be well on your way to combining JavaScript with ASP.NET in a way that’s capable of meeting the challenges of modern web development head-on.

Who is this book for?

I'm a .NET MVP and was the technical reviewer for this book. I really appreciated reviewing it. I believe it will help C# and VB.NET developpers get quickly up to speed on the basics. Then, it will give them a solid understanding of the language specifics and the Javascript ecosystem (jquery, SPA's). And finally, it will show them the path of how to develop modern apps with Javascript on the client, server and even desktop.I hope you'll find it as useful as I did.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter.

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
