Key benefits

Design and build fully modular, modern JavaScript applications using modular design concepts
Improve code portability, maintainability, and integrity while creating highly scalable and responsive web applications
Implement your own loosely coupled code blocks that can power highly maintainable and powerful applications in a flexible and highly responsive modular architecture

Description

Programming in the modular manner is always encouraged for bigger systems—it is easier to achieve scalability with modular programming. Even JavaScript developers are now interested in building programs in a modular pattern. Modules help people who aren’t yet familiar with code to find what they are looking for and also makes it easier for programmers to keep things that are related close together. Designing and implementing applications in a modular manner is highly encouraged and desirable in both simple and enterprise level applications. This book covers some real-life examples of modules and how we can translate that into our world of programming and application design. After getting an overview of JavaScript object-oriented programming (OOP) concepts and their practical usage, you should be able to write your own object definitions using the module pattern. You will then learn to design and augment modules and will explore the concepts of cloning, inheritance, sub-modules, and code extensibility. You will also learn about SandBoxing, application design, and architecture based on modular design concepts. Become familiar with AMD and CommonJS utilities. By the end of the book, you will be able to build spectacular modular applications in JavaScript.

Who is this book for?

If you are an intermediate to advanced JavaScript developer who has experience of writing JavaScript code but probably not in a modular, portable manner, or you are looking to develop enterprise level JavaScript applications, then this book is for you. A basic understanding of JavaScript concepts such as OOP, prototypal inheritance, and closures is expected.

What you will learn

Understand the important concepts of OOP in JavaScript, such as scope, objects, inheritance, event delegation, and more
Find out how the module design pattern is used in OOP in JavaScript
Design and augment modules using both tight augmentation and loose augmentation
Extend the capabilities of modules by creating sub-modules using techniques such as cloning and inheritance
Move from isolated module pieces to a cohesive, well integrated application modules that can interact and work together without being tightly coupled
See how SandBoxing is used to create a medium for all the modules to talk to each other as well as to the core
Use the concepts of modular application design to handle dependencies and load modules asynchronously
Become familiar with AMD and CommonJS utilities and discover what the future of JavaScript holds for modular programming and architecture

this is a fantastic book that teachers you how to build modular applications in javascript... and i am very happy i stumbled on it. It takes a very systematic approach towards the topic (building javascript applications using MVC/MV* patterns). I think the author has done a great job! There are some typos in the book though(that pretty much applications to all books)... that said, i cant recommend it enough! get it :-)

Had this book been published at the same time the ES5 standard was released (2009), I would give it 5 stars. The author does an excellent job at explaining how to create modules using IIFE (Immediately Invoked Function Expression), module augmentation techniques, OOP concepts, structural & behavior design patterns ( Facade, Mediator, Pub/Sub) and implements an excellent modular SPA (Single Page App) architecture based on Nicholas Zakas's 'Scalable JavaScript Application Architecture.'Because it was published after the release of the ES6/ES2015 standard, most of the content is dated. Since the release of ES2015 modules and modern browsers now supporting ES6 Modules, IIFE's are no longer the preferred technique to create modularity. The author dedicates only 4 pages to ES2015 modules.This book should have been about:1. How to migrate legacy IIFE modules to ES6 Modules2. How to use transpilers like Babel to create modules in ES6 and transpile back to ES5 module APIs (AMD, CommonJS, etc.).3. How to use tools like Webpack to support non-ES6 legacy browsers.4. Implementing the latest techniques for ES6 modules.In conclusion, the majority of the content is dated, however, one can still learn a lot on creating modularity with IIFE's and SPA modular architecture.
