Eloquent Javascript A Modern Introduction to Programming
Description :
Eloquent Javascript : A Modern Introduction to Programming
JavaScript lies at the heart of almost every modern web application,
from social apps like Twitter to browser-based game frameworks like
Phaser and Babylon. Though simple for beginners to pick up and play
with, JavaScript is a flexible, complex language that you can use to
build full-scale applications.
This much anticipated and thoroughly revised third edition of Eloquent JavaScript
dives deep into the JavaScript language to show you how to write
beautiful, effective code. It has been updated to reflect the current
state of Java¬Script and web browsers and includes brand-new material on
features like class notation, arrow functions, iterators, async
functions, template strings, and block scope. A host of new exercises
have also been added to test your skills and keep you on track.
As
with previous editions, Haverbeke continues to teach through extensive
examples and immerses you in code from the start, while exercises and
full-chapter projects give you hands-on experience with writing your own
programs. You start by learning the basic structure of the JavaScript
language as well as control structures, functions, and data structures
to help you write basic programs. Then you'll learn about error handling
and bug fixing, modularity, and asynchronous programming before moving
on to web browsers and how JavaScript is used to program them. As you
build projects such as an artificial life simulation, a simple
programming language, and a paint program, you'll learn how to:
- Understand the essential elements of programming, including syntax, control, and data
- Organize and clarify your code with object-oriented and functional programming techniques
- Script the browser and make basic web applications
- Use the DOM effectively to interact with browsers
- Harness Node.js to build servers and utilities
Isn't it time you became fluent in the language of the Web?
