Synopsis

Take your existing JavaScript skills to the next level and learn how to build complete web scale or enterprise applications that are easy to extend and maintain. By applying the design patterns outlined in this book, you’ll learn how to write flexible and resilient code that’s easier—not harder—to work with as your code base grows.

JavaScript has become one of the most widely used—and essential—programming languages for the Web, on both the client-side and server-side. In the real world, JavaScript applications are fragile, and when you change them things often break. Author Eric Elliott shows you how to add features without creating bugs or negatively impacting the rest of your code during the course of building a large JavaScript application.

• Examine the anatomy of a modern JavaScript application
• Learn best practices for code organization, modularity, and reuse
• Apply Model-View-Controller architectures to client-side web development
• Delve into client-side (browser) and server-side (Node) approaches
• Use Node to design and program RESTful APIs
• Learn the processes teams use to build, test, deploy, and scale large JavaScript applications
• Expand your application’s reach through platform targets and internationalization
