Whether for building interactive browser-based applications or creating server-side applications in Node, JavaScript is the most widely used language for web programming. With new features, language improvements, paradigms, and potential use cases appearing regularly, there's never been a more exciting time to be a JavaScript developer.

In The Joy of JavaScript, author and JavaScript expert Luis Atencio teaches you key design concepts that lead to clean, lean, modular, and easy-to-maintain code.

Key features

• JavaScript's objects and module system

• Working with higher order functions

• Driving application business logic with functional programming principles

• Dynamically hooking into data with Proxy and Reflect APIs

• Static type-checking with Flow

• Taming complex asynchronous behavior using reactive programming

Audience

Perfect for intermediate JavaScript developers with basic familiarity with HTTP, HTML/CSS, and Git/CLI.

About the technology

JavaScript is multi-paradigm, supporting object-oriented, functional, reactive, and event-driven styles of programming. And transpilers like Babel make it possible to compile code written in other languages into JavaScript.
