Exploit the Power of Modern JavaScript and Avoid the Pitfalls
JavaScript was originally designed for small-scale programming in web
browsers, but modern JavaScript is radically different. Nowadays,
JavaScript programmers actively embrace functional, object-oriented, and
asynchronous programming, while deprecating error-prone concepts from
the past. Modern JavaScript for the Impatient is a complete yet
concise guide to JavaScript E6 and beyond. Rather than first requiring
you to learn and transition from older versions, it helps you quickly
get productive with today's far more powerful versions and rapidly move
from languages such as Java, C#, C, or C++.
Bestselling programming author Cay S. Horstmann covers all you need to
know, provided in small chunks organized for quick access and easy
understanding. Horstmann's practical insights and sample code help you
take advantage of all that's new, avoid common pitfalls and obsolete
features, and make the most of modern JavaScript's robust toolchains and
frameworks.
- Quickly master modern JavaScript's implementation of fundamental
programming constructs
- Avoid legacy techniques that create unnecessary complexity and risk
- Make the most of functional, object-oriented, and asynchronous
techniques
- Use modules to efficiently organize and run complex programs
- Write more powerful, flexible, and concise programs with
metaprogramming
- Extend JavaScript's power via JavaScript libraries, frameworks, and
platforms
Whether you're just getting started with JavaScript or you're an
experienced developer, this guide will help you write tomorrow's most
robust, efficient, and secure JavaScript code.
