Advanced JavaScript [EPUB ebook] 
Speed up web development with the powerful features and benefits of JavaScript

Gain a deeper understanding of Java Script and apply it to build small applications in backend, frontend, and mobile frameworks.

• Explore the new ES6 syntax, the event loop, and asynchronous programming


• Learn the test-driven development approach when building apps


• Master advanced Java Script concepts to enhance your web developments skill

If you are looking for a programming language to develop flexible and efficient applications, Java Script is an obvious choice. Advanced Java Script is a hands-on guide that takes you through Java Script and its many features, one step at a time. You”ll begin by learning how to use the new Java Script syntax in ES6, and then work through the many other features that modern Java Script 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 Java Script 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 Java Script, you will have explored the features and benefits of Java Script to build small applications.

• 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 Java Script


• Handle Java Script browser events


• Explore Test Driven Development and build code tests with Java Script 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

This book is designed to target anyone who wants to write Java Script in a professional environment. We expect the audience to have used Java Script 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 Java Script and understand TDD.
