Key benefits

  • Write maintainable JS code using internal abstraction, well-written tests, and well-documented code
  • Understand the agents of clean coding like SOLID principles, OOP, and functional programming
  • Explore solutions to tackle common JavaScript challenges in building UIs, managing APIs, and writing states

Description

Building robust apps starts with creating clean code. In this book, you’ll explore techniques for doing this by learning everything from the basics of JavaScript through to the practices of clean code. You’ll write functional, intuitive, and maintainable code while also understanding how your code affects the end user and the wider community. The book starts with popular clean-coding principles such as SOLID, and the Law of Demeter (LoD), along with highlighting the enemies of writing clean code such as cargo culting and over-management. You’ll then delve into JavaScript, understanding the more complex aspects of the language. Next, you’ll create meaningful abstractions using design patterns, such as the Class Pattern and the Revealing Module Pattern. You’ll explore real-world challenges such as DOM reconciliation, state management, dependency management, and security, both within browser and server environments. Later, you’ll cover tooling and testing methodologies and the importance of documenting code. Finally, the book will focus on advocacy and good communication for improving code cleanliness within teams or workplaces, along with covering a case study for clean coding. By the end of this book, you’ll be well-versed with JavaScript and have learned how to create clean abstractions, test them, and communicate about them via documentation.

Who is this book for?

This book is for anyone who writes JavaScript, professionally or otherwise. As this book does not relate specifically to any particular framework or environment, no prior experience of any JavaScript web framework is required. Some knowledge of programming is assumed to understand the concepts covered in the book more effectively.

What you will learn

  • Understand the true purpose of code and the problems it solves for your end-users and colleagues
  • Discover the tenets and enemies of clean code considering the effects of cultural and syntactic conventions
  • Use modern JavaScript syntax and design patterns to craft intuitive abstractions
  • Maintain code quality within your team via wise adoption of tooling and advocating best practices
  • Learn the modern ecosystem of JavaScript and its challenges like DOM reconciliation and state management
  • Express the behavior of your code both within tests and via various forms of documentation

This book was very important in my JavaScript journey. It teaches concepts that transcend the language of JavaScript (clean code, smart abstractions, architectural patters, working with others, etc.). I would recommend it for anybody novice to pro.I would not, however, recommend this as your very first JavaScript book/course. This book is mostly useful if you already have some JavaScript experience. If you are brand new to JavaScript, I would start with at least one more intro book/course before moving on to this.

I used to recommend great book "Secrets of the Javascript Ninja" by John Resig and Bear Bibeault as most important book to understand JavaScript for junior developers. This book is just as good and more relevant now that ES6+ and TypeScript are default and popular way to code in JavaScript. I highly recommend it.I'm a very experienced developer and still learned quite a bit I'd either forgot or never thought about. Book will make your code less smelly and worth reading cover to cover.

The book is not for the feint-hearted. It makes you think a lot about the ways you write code .. all the way up to thinking about what we're even doing when we are creating software for users (it gets deep). Respecting the users' needs. And seeing fellow programmers as 'users' as well. In a way, tho the book is for JS developers, a tonne of what it covers, especially in the first few chapters, are really applicable to all people who design and create software or web apps.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

How do I buy Early Access content? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Early Access is a way of us getting our content to you quicker, but the method of buying the Early Access course is still the same.

What is Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
