Conquering javascript: The Practical Handbook helps the reader master the javascript (JS) programming language for faster and more robust development. JS is a highly popular language and is often termed as the ‘language of the web.’ In addition to the internet, JS is also being used actively in game development, mobile apps, progressive applications, and now even desktop apps. As such, it is safe to say that JS is probably the most cross-platform language currently in use, and it rises in popularity with each passing day. This book covers the basics and moves on to advanced concepts using a hands-on approach with practical lessons and tutorials. JS programming, JS frameworks and various use-case scenarios are discussed in detail. Bridging the gap between beginner and intermediate-level JS literature, this book is a valuable resource to build robust knowledge. AngularJS, jQuery, and ReactJS are just a few of the frameworks and tools available for javascript today. Initially executed on the client side, the javascript implementation has expanded to the server side after the introduction of Node.js, a cross-platform server environment based on the Google Chrome javascript V8 engine. While it primarily caters to web-based applications, javascript programming capabilities have numerous uses in many fields.
