BOOK DESCRIPTION
If you are looking for a programming language to develop flexible and
efficient applications, JavaScript is an obvious choice. Advanced
JavaScript is a hands-on guide that takes you through JavaScript and
its many features, one step at a time. You'll begin by learning how to
use the new JavaScript syntax in ES6, and then work through the many
other features that modern JavaScript has to offer. As you progress
through the chapters, you’ll use asynchronous programming with
callbacks and promises, handle browser events, and perform Document
Object Model (DOM) manipulation. You'll also explore various methods
of testing JavaScript projects. In the concluding chapters, you'll
discover functional programming and learn to use it to build your
apps. With this book as your guide, you'll also be able to develop
APIs using Node.js and Express, create front-ends using React/Redux,
and build mobile apps using React/Expo.
By the end of Advanced JavaScript, you will have explored the features
and benefits of JavaScript to build small applications.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
* Examine major features in ES6 and implement those features to build
applications
* Create promise and callback handlers to work with asynchronous
processes
* Develop asynchronous flows using Promise chaining and async/await
syntax
* Manipulate the DOM with JavaScript
* Handle JavaScript browser events
* Explore Test Driven Development and build code tests with
JavaScript code testing frameworks.
* List the benefits and drawbacks of functional programming compared
to other styles
* Construct applications with the Node.js backend framework and the
React frontend framework
WHO THIS BOOK IS FOR
This book is designed to target anyone who wants to write JavaScript
in a professional environment. We expect the audience to have used
JavaScript in some capacity and be familiar with the basic syntax.
This book would be good for a tech enthusiast wondering when to use
generators or how to use Promises and Callbacks effectively, or a
novice developer who wants to deepen their knowledge on JavaScript and
understand TDD.
