JavaScript Frameworks for Modern Web Dev is your guide to the wild, vast, and untamed frontier that is JavaScript development. The JavaScript tooling landscape has grown and matured drastically in the past several years. This book will serve as an introduction to both new and well established libraries, frameworks, and utilities that have gained popular traction and support from seasoned developers. It covers tools applicable to the entire development stack, both client- and server-side. While no single book can possibly cover every JavaScript library of value, JavaScript Frameworks for Modern Web Dev focuses on incredibly u seful libraries and frameworks that production software uses. You will be treated to detailed analyses and sample code for tools that manage dependencies, structure code in a modular fashion, automate repetitive build tasks, create specialized servers, structure client side applications, facilitate horizontal scaling, and interacting with disparate data stores. The libraries and frameworks covered include Bower, Grunt, Yeoman, PM2, RequireJS, Browserify, Knockout, AngularJS, Kraken, Mach, Mongoose, Knex, Bookshelf, Faye, Q, Async.js, Underscore, and Lodash. Written from first-hand experience, you will benefit from the glorious victories and innumerable failures of two experienced professionals, gain quick insight into hurdles that aren't always explicitly mentioned in API documentation or Readmes, and quickly learn how to use JavaScript frameworks and libraries like a Pro. Enrich your development skills with JavaScript Frameworks for Modern Web Dev today.

In Computer Science, Computer Programs have employed the collection of non-volatile resources called a Library which is being used for software Development. A Library has also been referred to as a collection of implementations of behaviour that are derived in terms of a language which affords us a distinct interface through which the behaviour is appealed to and summoned. For an instance, the folks who aspire to engrave an elegant program would use a library to be made system calls instead of executing those system calls over and over again. The library has been incorporated by various and vibrant factors such as Configuration Data, Documentation, Help Data, Templates of Messages, Pre-Written Code, Subroutines, Classes, Values or Type Specifications. JavaScript is a Prominent Programming Language that follows the ECMAScript Specification. As one of the foundational web development languages (along with HTML and CSS), it aids power a large fraction of the websites on the Internet. JavaScript libraries that would have several functions, methods, or objects to perform and execute practical tasks on a webpage or JS-based applications. It’s possible to even be built a WordPress site with them. We accumulated some of the preeminent libraries for JavaScript for the people who want to know about its libraries at its market in a descript way.

Enrich your software design skills and take a guided tour of the wild, vast, and untamed frontier that is JavaScript development. Especially useful for frontend developers, this revision includes specific chapters on React and VueJS, as well as an updated one on Angular. To help you get the most of your new skills, each chapter also has a "further reading" section. This book will serve as an introduction to both new and well established libraries and frameworks, such as Angular, VueJS, React, Grunt, Yeoman, RequireJS, Browserify, Knockout, Kraken, Async.js, Underscore, and Lodash. It also covers utilities that have gained popular traction and support from seasoned developers and tools applicable to the entire development stack, both client- and server-side. While no single book can possibly cover every JavaScript library of value, JavaScript Frameworks for Modern Web Development focuses on incredibly useful libraries and frameworks that production software uses. You will be treated to detailed analyses and sample code for tools that manage dependencies, structure code in a modular fashion, automate repetitive build tasks, create specialized servers, structure client side applications, facilitate horizontal scaling, and interacting with disparate data stores. What You'll LearnWork with a variety of JavaScript frameworks, such as Angular, Vue, React, RequireJS, Knockout, and more Choose the right framework for different types of projects Employ the appropriate libraries and tools in your projects Discover useful JavaScript development tools such as Grunt, Yeoman, Lodash, etc. Who This Book Is For Web developers of all levels of ability; particularly relevant for front-end developers, server-side coders, and developers interested in learning JavaScript.

You will first be introduced to object-oriented programming, then to the basics of objects in JavaScript. This book takes a do-it-yourself approach when it comes to writing code, because the best way to really learn a programming language is by writing code. You are encouraged to type code into Firebug's console, see how it works and then tweak it and play around with it. There are practice questions at the end of each chapter to help you review what you have learned. For new to intermediate JavaScript developer who wants to prepare themselves for web development problems solved by smart JavaSc.

"A great mix of theory and practical examples makes this a good read for both newcomers to JavaScript/TDD and seasoned JavaScripters wanting to add to their skill set."---Jacob Seidelin, freelance web developer, Nihilogic --Book Jacket.

Most programming languages contain good and bad parts, but JavaScript has more than its share of the bad, having been developed and released in a hurry before it could be refined. This authoritative book scrapes away these bad features to reveal a subset of JavaScript that's more reliable, readable, and maintainable than the language as a whole—a subset you can use to create truly extensible and efficient code. Considered the JavaScript expert by many people in the development community, author Douglas Crockford identifies the abundance of good ideas that make JavaScript an outstanding object-oriented programming language-ideas such as functions, loose typing, dynamic objects, and an expressive object literal notation. Unfortunately, these good ideas are mixed in with bad and downright awful ideas, like a programming model based on global variables. When Java applets failed, JavaScript became the language of the Web by default, making its popularity almost completely independent of its qualities as a programming language. In JavaScript: The Good Parts, Crockford finally digs through the steaming pile of good intentions and blunders to give you a detailed look at all the genuinely elegant parts of JavaScript, including: Syntax Objects Functions Inheritance Arrays Regular expressions Methods Style Beautiful features The real beauty? As you move ahead with the subset of JavaScript that this book presents, you'll also sidestep the need to unlearn all the bad parts. Of course, if you want to find out more about the bad parts and how to use them badly, simply consult any other JavaScript book. With JavaScript: The Good Parts, you'll discover a beautiful, elegant, lightweight and highly expressive language that lets you create effective code, whether you're managing object libraries or just trying to get Ajax to run fast. If you develop sites or applications for the Web, this book is an absolute must.

Take advantage of JavaScript’s power to build robust web-scale or enterprise applications that are easy to extend and maintain. By applying the design patterns outlined in this practical book, experienced JavaScript developers will learn how to write flexible and resilient code that’s easier—yes, easier—to work with as your code base grows. JavaScript may be the most essential web programming language, but in the real world, JavaScript applications often break when you make changes. With this book, author Eric Elliott shows you how to add client- and server-side features to a large JavaScript application without negatively affecting the rest of your code. Examine the anatomy of a large-scale JavaScript application Build modern web apps with the capabilities of desktop applications Learn best practices for code organization, modularity, and reuse Separate your application into different layers of responsibility Build efficient, self-describing hypermedia APIs with Node.js Test, integrate, and deploy software updates in rapid cycles Control resource access with user authentication and authorization Expand your application’s reach through internationalization
