Key benefits

  • Write eloquent JavaScript and employ fundamental and advanced features to create your own web apps
  • Interact with the browser with HTML and JavaScript, and add dynamic images, shapes, and text with HTML5 Canvas
  • Build a password checker, paint web app, hangman game, and many more fun projects

Description

This book demonstrates the capabilities of JavaScript for web application development by combining theoretical learning with code exercises and fun projects that you can challenge yourself with. The guiding principle of the book is to show how straightforward JavaScript techniques can be used to make web apps ranging from dynamic websites to simple browser-based games. JavaScript from Beginner to Professional focuses on key programming concepts and Document Object Model manipulations that are used to solve common problems in professional web applications. These include data validation, manipulating the appearance of web pages, working with asynchronous and concurrent code. The book uses project-based learning to provide context for the theoretical components in a series of code examples that can be used as modules of an application, such as input validators, games, and simple animations. This will be supplemented with a brief crash course on HTML and CSS to illustrate how JavaScript components fit into a complete web application. As you learn the concepts, you can try them in your own editor or browser console to get a solid understanding of how they work and what they do. By the end of this JavaScript book, you will feel confident writing core JavaScript code and be equipped to progress to more advanced libraries, frameworks, and environments such as React, Angular, and Node.js.

Who is this book for?

This book is for people who are new to JavaScript (JS) or those looking to build up their skills in web development. Basic familiarity with HTML & CSS would be beneficial. Whether you are a junior or intermediate developer who needs an easy-to-understand practical guide for JS concepts, a developer who wants to transition into working with JS, or a student studying programming concepts using JS, this book will prove helpful.

What you will learn

  • Use logic statements to make decisions within your code
  • Save time with JavaScript loops by avoiding writing the same code repeatedly
  • Use JavaScript functions and methods to selectively execute code
  • Connect to HTML5 elements and bring your own web pages to life with interactive content
  • Make your search patterns more effective with regular expressions
  • Explore concurrency and asynchronous programming to process events efficiently and improve performance
  • Get a head start on your next steps with primers on key libraries, frameworks, and APIs

This book won't teach you how to program everything in javascript. BUT, it is definitly useful to learn as you learn javascript from an online course or in classes. They speak about different aspects and you can also jump into any section that interests you.The book on its own has a kind of bad quality print BUT please the authors are doing a decent job at what they are teaching.

I love this book. It's ideally paced for me; I've programmed in other languages but I've never had a need to write JavaScript. I suspect it's not a great book for someone looking to hone their skills in this area but it's a great introduction.

As the title suggests, if you are looking to learn JavaScript and learn it well then look no further than this book. It breaks the concepts of the language down into very easy to digest and understand pieces that help you to take in and really comprehend the material. The authors are very intuitive and know what they are talking about. If you have heard that you need to learn HTML and CSS before learning JavaScript and are scared that you need to learn those two pieces of technology before buying this book don't. They cover all the HTML and CSS that you will need in order to learn JavaScript.You will learn how to use JavaScript to enhance your HTML and CSS inside of your website. Definitely want to give this book a try.
