JavaScript is the programming language of the web and is used by more software developers today than any other programming language. For nearly 25 years this best seller has been the go-to guide for JavaScript programmers. The seventh edition is fully updated to cover the 2020 version of JavaScript, and new chapters cover classes, modules, iterators, generators, Promises, async/await, and metaprogramming. You'll find illuminating and engaging example code throughout.

This book is for programmers who want to learn JavaScript and for web developers who want to take their understanding and mastery to the next level. It begins by explaining the JavaScript language itself, in detail, from the bottom up. It then builds on that foundation to cover the web platform and Node.js.

Topics include:

• Types, values, variables, expressions, operators, statements, objects, and arrays
• Functions, classes, modules, iterators, generators, Promises, and async/await
• JavaScript's standard library: data structures, regular expressions, JSON, i18n, etc.
• The web platform: documents, components, graphics, networking, storage, and threads
• Node.js: buffers, files, streams, threads, child processes, web clients, and web servers
• Tools and language extensions that professional JavaScript developers rely on

According to StackOverflow's 2023 Developer Survey, JavaScript is the most popular language in the world. JavaScript provides the functionality for a web page. As a result, it's a critical part of most websites, including heavily-trafficked sites like Google, Facebook, YouTube, and Amazon. That's why every web developer should know how to use JavaScript.

JavaScript used to be hard to learn due to some quirks in its early versions that were difficult to understand. But now, with Murach's Modern JavaScript, you can skip over the explanations of the quirky old features and jump straight to the best practices of modern JavaScript. This makes it easier than ever to learn how to use JavaScript to add functionality to your web pages.

To make that possible, section 1 of this book presents a seven-chapter crash course in JavaScript. Because it lets you set your own pace, this section works for those who are completely new to programming as well as those who are already experienced programmers. The only perquisite is a basic understanding of HTML and CSS. When you finish this section, you'll be able to write, test, and debug JavaScript apps of your own.

Then, section 2 presents the essential JavaScript skills. That includes showing you how to create object-oriented apps by defining custom objects and using ES modules to organize them. When you finish this section, you'll be ready to learn other JavaScript frameworks like React and Angular.

Next, section 3 presents some professional skills that you can learn as you need them. These skills include using the Fetch API with Ajax to work with a sever asynchronously, using Node.js to run JavaScript on a server, and using canvas to create drawings and animations.

Are you looking to teach children how to code? Or are you looking to start coding?

This book on beginner html and JavaScript is the answer.

For the last couple of years, the news keeps talking about the digital economy and how everyone needs programmers. It seems like everyone wants to learn how to code. However, it is not that easy. Coding is a skill; and like any skill it takes time to learn. Like any skill, the younger you start; the better you get.

From my personal experience with coding and also with teaching young kids how to code, let me tell you that coding is a lot of fun and extremely gratifying.

It teaches you how to organize, think logically, communicate, work in teams and be more creative.

However, programming can be hard to learn. Especially if you start reading advanced books. You need a step-by-step guide to get started. This book starts off with the very basics; how to install the software, set up and write your first lines of code. There are exercises at the end of each chapter that can test your new found knowledge and move you ahead.

And then, we get you a few more advanced skills that can get you started making websites.

Even if you've never touched a computer in your life, you will find this book useful.

TypeScript is a typed superset of JavaScript with the potential to solve many of the headaches for which JavaScript is famous. But TypeScript has a learning curve of its own, and understanding how to use it effectively takes time and practice. Using the format popularized by Effective C++ and Effective Java (both Addison-Wesley), this practical book features 83 items that give specific advice on what to do and what not to do, and how to think about the language.

Author Dan Vanderkam shows you how to apply each item's advice through concrete examples. This book will help you advance from a beginning or intermediate user familiar with TypeScript basics to an expert who knows how to use the language well.

Updated for TypeScript 5, this second edition includes two new chapters on type-level programming and TypeScript recipes.

• Learn the nuts and bolts of TypeScript's type system
• Use type inference to get full safety with a minimum of type annotations
• Design types to make your code safer and more understandable
• Model complex APIs using generic types and type-level programming
• Understand how dependencies and type declaration files work in TypeScript
• Successfully migrate your JavaScript code base to TypeScript

Take your web development skills from browser to server with Node.js, the popular backend framework used by more than 10 million developers at companies like Amazon, Netflix, and LinkedIn, to name just a few. If you're comfortable working with JavaScript, this practical guide from Samer Buna will show you how to effectively build and maintain even the most complex Node.js applications.

Following a hands-on, project-based approach, you'll move from key fundamentals to advanced concepts such as modules, packages, event-driven architecture, streams, child processes, scaling, testing, deployment, and much more--all while focusing on what actually matters in practice.

• Understand Node.js's native capabilities in order to best use the powerful libraries and tools in its ecosystem
• Utilize Node.js modules and packages
• Explore Node.js's event-driven architecture, streams, and child processes
• Create, test, and maintain efficient and scalable Node.js applications

Most programming languages contain good and bad parts, but JavaScript has more than its share of the bad, having been developed and released in a hurry before it could be refined. This authoritative book scrapes away these bad features to reveal a subset of JavaScript that's more reliable, readable, and maintainable than the language as a whole--a subset you can use to create truly extensible and efficient code.

Considered the JavaScript expert by many people in the development community, author Douglas Crockford identifies the abundance of good ideas that make JavaScript an outstanding object-oriented programming language-ideas such as functions, loose typing, dynamic objects, and an expressive object literal notation. Unfortunately, these good ideas are mixed in with bad and downright awful ideas, like a programming model based on global variables.

When Java applets failed, JavaScript became the language of the Web by default, making its popularity almost completely independent of its qualities as a programming language. In JavaScript: The Good Parts, Crockford finally digs through the steaming pile of good intentions and blunders to give you a detailed look at all the genuinely elegant parts of JavaScript, including:

• Syntax
• Objects
• Functions
• Inheritance
• Arrays
• Regular expressions
• Methods
• Style
• Beautiful features

The real beauty? As you move ahead with the subset of JavaScript that this book presents, you'll also sidestep the need to unlearn all the bad parts. Of course, if you want to find out more about the bad parts and how to use them badly, simply consult any other JavaScript book.

With JavaScript: The Good Parts, you'll discover a beautiful, elegant, lightweight and highly expressive language that lets you create effective code, whether you're managing object libraries or just trying to get Ajax to run fast. If you develop sites or applications for the Web, this book is an absolute must.

The first problem is retention. You remember only ten or twenty percent of what you read. That spells failure. To become fluent in a computer language, you have to retain pretty much everything.

How can you retain everything? Only by constantly being asked to play everything back. That's why people use flashcards. But my system does flashcards one better. After reading a short chapter, you go to my website and complete twenty interactive exercises. Algorithms check your work to make sure you know what you think you know. When you stumble, you do the exercise again. You keep trying until you know the chapter cold. The exercises are free.

The second problem is comprehension. Many learners hit a wall when they try to understand advanced concepts like variable scope and prototypes. Unfortunately, they blame themselves. That's why the Dummies books sell so well. But the fault lies with the authors, coding virtuosos who lack teaching talent. I'm the opposite of the typical software book author. I'll never code fast enough to land a job at Google. But I can teach.

Anyway, most comprehension problems are just retention problems in disguise. If you get lost trying to understand variable scope, it's because you don't remember how functions work. Thanks to the interactive exercises on my website, you'll always understand and remember everything necessary to confidently tackle the next concept.

I've signed up to a few sites like Udemy, Codecademy, FreeCodeCamp, Lynda, YouTube videos, even searched on Coursera but nothing seemed to work for me. This book takes only 10 minutes each chapter and after that, you can exercise what you've just learned right away! -Amazon reviewer Constanza Morales

Better than just reading. And more fun.

You'll spend two to three times as much time practicing as reading. It's how you wind up satisfied, confident, and proud, instead of confused, discouraged, and defeated. And since many people find doing things more enjoyable than reading things, it can be a pleasure to learn this way, quite apart from the impressive results you achieve.

Very effective and fun. -Amazon reviewer A. Bergamini

Written especially for beginners.

I wrote the book and exercises especially for people who are new to programming. Making no assumptions about what you already know, I walk you through JavaScript slowly, patiently. I explain every little thing in sixth-grade English. I avoid unnecessary technical jargon like the plague. (Face it, fellow authors, it is the plague.)

The layman syntax he uses...makes it much easier to suddenly realize a concept that seemed abstract and too hard to wrap your head around is suddenly not complicated at all. - Amazon reviewer IMHO

The exercises keep you focused, give you extra practice where you're shaky, and prepare you for each next step. Every lesson is built on top of a solid foundation that you and I have carefully constructed. Each individual step is small. But, as Amazon reviewer James Toban says, when you get to the end of the book, you've built a tower of JavaScript.

If you're an accomplished programmer already, my book may be too elementary for you. (Do you really need to be told what a variable is?) But if you're new to programming, more than a thousand five-star reviews are pretty good evidence that my book may be just the one to get you coding JavaScript successfully.

Mark Myers' method of getting what can be...difficult information into a format that makes it exponentially easier to consume, truly understand, and synthesize into real-world application is beyond anything I've encountered before. -Amazon reviewer Jason A. Ruby

JavaScript gives web developers great power to create rich interactive browser experiences, and much of that power is provided by the browser itself. Modern web APIs enable web-based applications to come to life like never before, supporting actions that once required browser plug-ins. Some are still in an experimental stage, but many are ready for use today.

With this hands-on cookbook, author Joe Attardi helps you explore the powerful APIs available in modern browsers and guides you through the specific tasks that they unlock. Because these features are web standards, there is comprehensive documentation available from trusted resources such as MDN Web Docs. The knowledge you'll gain is transferable across different companies and projects.

• Learn the breadth of functionality available in modern browser APIs
• Explore future APIs that are still in an experimental stage
• Discover newer elements, such as dialog that replaces the need for a third-party library
• Build more powerful and interactive web applications using native APIs
• Understand the permissions model used by the browser to unlock functionality such as geolocation and push notifications
