Javascript
by Don Gosselin Sasha VodnikJavaScript is a client-side scripting language that allows web page authors to develop interactive web pages and sites. Although JavaScript is considered a programming language, it is also a critical part of web page design and authoring. This is because the JavaScript language enables web developers to add functionality directly to a web page's elements. The language is relatively easy to learn, allowing non-programmers to quickly incorporate JavaScript functionality into a web page. In fact, because it is used extensively in the countless web pages that are available on the World Wide Web, JavaScript is arguably the most widely used programming language in the world.

JavaScript Application Design: A Build First Approach
by Nicolas BevacquaSummaryJavaScript Application Design: A Build First Approach introduces JavaScript developers to techniques that will improve the quality of their software as well as their web development workflow. You'll begin by learning how to establish build processes that are appropriate for JavaScript-driven development. Then, you'll walk through best practices for productive day-to-day development, like running tasks when your code changes, deploying applications with a single command, and monitoring the state of your application once it's in production.Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications.About the BookThe fate of most applications is often sealed before a single line of code has been written. How is that possible? Simply, bad design assures bad results. Good design and effective processes are the foundation on which maintainable applications are built, scaled, and improved. For JavaScript developers, this means discovering the tooling, modern libraries, and architectural patterns that enable those improvements.JavaScript Application Design: A Build First Approach introduces techniques to improve software quality and development workflow. You'll begin by learning how to establish processes designed to optimize the quality of your work.

JavaScript at Scale
by Adam BoduchBuild web applications that last, with scaling insights from the front-line of JavaScript development About This Book Design and implement JavaScript application architectures that scale from a number of perspectives, such as addressability, configurability, and performance Understand common JavaScript scaling pitfalls and how to tackle them through practical, real-world, solutions and strategies Learn techniques to deliver reusable architectures that stand the test of time Who This Book Is For Have you ever come up against an application that felt like it was built on sand? Maybe you've been tasked with creating an application that needs to last longer than a year before a complete re-write? If so, JavaScript at Scale is your missing documentation for maintaining scalable architectures. There's no prerequisite framework knowledge required for this book, however, most concepts presented throughout are adaptations of components found in frameworks such as Backbone, AngularJS, or Ember. All code examples are presented using ECMAScript 6 syntax, to make sure your applications are ready for next generation browsers. What You Will Learn Identify and evaluate the external scaling influencers of your application Build out component composition in large-scale JavaScript applications Design for inter-component communication that scale Understand the importance of addressable resources in JavaScript applications, and approaches to scaling addressability Customize and configure components to meet scaling demands Ensure a highly-performant user experience, despite the size and complexity of your application Design a portable and testable application that's not constrained to one environment Make architectural trade-offs by removing or refactoring components Design components that fail in a scalable way In Detail JavaScript applications of today look a lot different from their predecessors of just five years ago. Because of this rapid growth in sophistication and capabilities, we've seen an explosion in JavaScript frameworks; the JavaScript development landscape is a fragmented one. To build large-scale JavaScript applications, we need more than just tools – we need scalable architectures. We create scalable JavaScript architectures by looking at what aspects of our application need to scale and why. Only then can we apply the best patterns and components to our architecture, scaling it into the future. JavaScript at Scale will show you how to deal with scalability from a number of perspectives; addressability, testability and component composition. The book begins by defining ‘scale’ from a JavaScript point of view, and dives into the influencers of scale, as well as scalable component composition and communication. We will also look at how large-scale architectures need the ability to scale down, and recover from failing components, as well as scale up and manage new features or a large user base. Filled with real-world JavaScript scaling scenarios, and code-first examples, JavaScript at Scale is your guide to building out applications that last. Each topic is covered in a way that it can be applied to your own unique scenarios; by understanding the fundamentals of a scaling issue, you’ll be able to use that knowledge to tackle even the most difficult of situations. The code examples follow the same approach, using ECMAScript 6 syntax that can be translated to the framework of choice.
JavaScript Concurrency
by Adam BoduchBuild better software with concurrent JavaScript programming, and unlock a more efficient and forward thinking approach to web development About This Book * Apply the core principles of concurrency to both browser and server side development * Explore the latest tools and techniques at the forefront of concurrent programming, including JavaScript promises, web workers, and generators * Learn how concurrent and parallel programming can help you tackle the challenges of fast, data heavy web development Who This Book Is For JavaScript Concurrency is written for any JavaScript developer who wants to learn how to write more efficient, powerful, and maintainable applications that utilize the latest developments in the JavaScript language. All aspects of concurrent, asynchronous, and parallel programming are covered from first principles and by the end of the book you'll be able to create a fully-worked application that leverages all the topics covered in the book. What You Will Learn * Understand exactly how JavaScript works in a web browser environment, and how these mechanisms power our event-driven JavaScript code * Use promises to turn complex synchronization scenarios into readable and maintainable values * Compute values lazily and avoid unnecessary memory allocations using generators. * Write concurrent code that doesn't feel like concurrent code by abstracting away boilerplate chores * Leverage true hardware parallelism with web workers to get a better performance * Get to grips with the NodeJS model of concurrency and learn why it's good for I/O-intensive web applications In Detail Concurrent programming may sound abstract and complex, but it helps to deliver a better user experience. With single threaded JavaScript, applications lack dynamism. This means that when JavaScript code is running, nothing else can happen. The DOM can't update, which means the UI freezes. In a world where users expect speed and responsiveness - in all senses of the word - this is something no developer can afford. Fortunately, JavaScript has evolved to adopt concurrent capabilities - one of the reasons why it is still at the forefront of modern web development. This book helps you dive into concurrent JavaScript, and demonstrates how to apply its core principles and key techniques and tools to a range of complex development challenges. Built around the three core principles of concurrency - parallelism, synchronization, and conservation - you'll learn everything you need to unlock a more efficient and dynamic JavaScript, to lay the foundations of even better user experiences. Throughout the book you'll learn how to put these principles into action by using a range of development approaches. Covering everything from JavaScript promises, web workers, generators and functional programming techniques, everything you learn will have a real impact on the performance of your applications. You'll also learn how to move between client and server, for a more frictionless and fully realized approach to development. With further guidance on concurrent programming with Node.js, JavaScript Concurrency is committed to making you a better web developer. The best developers know that great design is about more than the UI - with concurrency, you can be confident every your project will be expertly designed to guarantee its dynamism and power. Style and approach Beginning with the fundamentals of concurrency and how they apply to JavaScript development, the book then takes you through the relevant constructs that will help you implement concurrent code. You'll learn how even the most abstract and theoretical aspects of concurrent programming help you solve real world challenges, with clear and practical demonstrations that show you how concurrent JavaScript will make you a better developer.
JavaScript Domain-Driven Design
by Philipp FehreIf you are an experienced JavaScript developer who wants to improve the design of his or her applications, or find yourself in a situation to implement an application in an unfamiliar domain, this book is for you. <P><P>Prior knowledge of JavaScript is required and prior experience with Node.js will also be helpful.

JavaScript JSON Cookbook
by Ray RischpaterIf you're writing applications that move structured data from one place to another, this book is for you. This is especially true if you've been using XML to do the job because it's entirely possible that you could do much of the same work with less code and less data overhead in JSON. While the book's chapters make some distinction between the client and server sides of an application, it doesn't matter if you're a frontend, backend, or full-stack developer. The principles behind using JSON apply to both the client and the server, and in fact, developers who understand both sides of the equation generally craft the best applications.
JavaScript Object Programming
by Martin RinehartThis brief book explains the advantages of the object model, inheritance, both classical and prototypical, and shows how these concepts can be implemented in JavaScript. It also shows how object programming (OP) opens a new world of design possibilities that go far beyond inheritance. This book will help the intermediate JavaScript programmer learn to use both types of inheritance. For classical inheritance, it is accompanied by a substantial online system (a windowing UI library) that shows classical inheritance at its best. The same system shows how OP "capabilities" can eliminate much of the need for inheritance. For experienced JavaScript programmers, this book shows why most of the old views of JavaScript's inheritance have not done it justice. JavaScript classes inherit from JavaScript's prototypes, a fact that makes JavaScript's prototypes, when used correctly, functional equivalents to C++ classes (not to prototypes in true prototypal languages, like Self). JavaScript's object programming (not inheritance) is what separates it from classical OOP languages like C++ and Java. Most important, basing inheritance on JavaScript's prototypal chain is possible, but is not the best choice for prototypal inheritance or classical inheritance. What you'll learn What are objects, JavaScript objects and object programming What is and how to use inheritance and JavaScript inheritance as well as inheritance alternatives How to design for JavaScript What are and how to use OO principles in JavaScript How to use Constructors with JavaScript and more Who this book is for This book is for both intermediate and advanced JavaScript and Web development programmers. Any programmer will understand the concepts and any JavaScript programmer should understand all of the concepts in this book. The code there shows examples of the concepts discussed. Its immediate usefulness with be with intermediate and advanced JavaScript and Web development programmers. Table of Contents 1. Objects 2. JavaScript Objects 3. Object Programming 4. Inheritance 5.
