Develop your JavaScript programming skills by learning strategies and techniques commonly used in modern full-stack application developmentKey FeaturesWrite and deploy full-stack applications efficiently with JavaScriptDelve into JavaScript’s multiple programming paradigmsGet up to speed with core concepts such as modularity and functional programming to write efficient codeBook DescriptionIn depth knowledge of JavaScript makes it easier to learn a variety of other frameworks, including React, Angular, and related tools and libraries. This book is designed to help you cover the core JavaScript concepts you need to build modern applications. You'll start by learning how to represent an HTML document in the Document Object Model (DOM). Then, you'll combine your knowledge of the DOM and Node.js to create a web scraper for practical situations. As you read through further lessons, you'll create a Node.js-based RESTful API using the Express library for Node.js. You'll also understand how modular designs can be used for better reusability and collaboration with multiple developers on a single project. Later lessons will guide you through building unit tests, which ensure that the core functionality of your program is not affected over time. The book will also demonstrate how constructors, async/await, and events can load your applications quickly and efficiently. Finally, you'll gain useful insights into functional programming concepts such as immutability, pure functions, and higher-order functions. By the end of this book, you'll have the skills you need to tackle any real-world JavaScript development problem using a modern JavaScript approach, both for the client and server sides. What you will learnApply the core concepts of functional programmingBuild a Node.js project that uses the Express.js library to host an APICreate unit tests for a Node.js project to validate itUse the Cheerio library with Node.js to create a basic web scraperDevelop a React interface to build processing flowsUse callbacks as a basic way to bring control backWho this book is forIf you want to advance from being a frontend developer to a full-stack developer and learn how Node.js can be used for hosting full-stack applications, this is an ideal book for you. After reading this book, you'll be able to write better JavaScript code and learn about the latest trends in the language. To easily grasp the concepts explained here, you should know the basic syntax of JavaScript and should've worked with popular frontend libraries such as jQuery. You should have also used JavaScript with HTML and CSS but not necessarily Node.js.

Step into the world of design patterns through modern JavaScript paradigms to supercharge your applications on the web and beyond Key Features Explore various JavaScript design patterns, delving deep into their intricacies, benefits, and best practices Understand the decision-making process guiding the selection of specific design patterns Build a solid foundation to learn advanced topics in JavaScript and web performance Purchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBook Book DescriptionUnlock the potential of JavaScript design patterns, the foundation for development teams seeking structured and reusable solutions to common software development challenges in this guide to improving code maintainability, scalability, and performance. Discover how these patterns equip businesses with cleaner and more maintainable code, promote team collaboration, reduce errors, and save time and costs. This book provides a comprehensive view of design patterns in modern (ES6+) JavaScript with real-world examples of their deployment in professional settings. You’ll start by learning how to use creational, structural, and behavioral design patterns in idiomatic JavaScript, and then shift focus to the architecture and UI patterns. Here, you’ll learn how to apply patterns for libraries such as React and extend them further to general web frontend and micro frontend approaches. The last section of the book introduces and illustrates sets of performance and security patterns, including messaging and events, asset and JavaScript loading strategies, and asynchronous programming performance patterns. Throughout the book, examples featuring React and Next.js, in addition to JavaScript and Web API examples, will help you choose and implement proven design patterns across diverse web ecosystems, transforming the way you approach development. What you will learn Find out how patterns are classified into creational, structural, and behavioral Implement the right set of patterns for different business scenarios Explore diverse frontend architectures and different rendering approaches Identify and address common asynchronous programming performance pitfalls Leverage event-driven programming in the browser to deliver fast and secure applications Boost application performance using asset loading strategies and offloading JavaScript execution Who this book is forThis book is for developers and software architects who want to leverage JavaScript and the web platform for enhanced productivity, superior software quality, and optimized application performance. Prior experience with JavaScript and web development is assumed. Some of the more advanced topics in the book will be of interest to developers with intermediate experience in building for the web with JavaScript.
