JavaScript

JavaScript—the lingua franca of the web!

Begin your professional JavaScript journey with this comprehensive, hands-on guide. Whether you’re just starting your career as a developer or have been working with programming languages for many years, this book can teach you what you need to know about professional JavaScript programming. You’ll start with the basics: get to know the core language concepts and understand what makes JavaScript a versatile and powerful web development tool. Then, focus on the application of JavaScript in web development: how to create dynamic content, how to retrieve content from the server using JavaScript, how to create graphics dynamically using JavaScript, and much more. If you’re looking for advanced guidance, this book delivers with discussions about object-oriented and functional programming, the Node.js platform, mobile and desktop application development, and the use of JavaScript in the Internet of Things.

Throughout the book, you’ll find useful, hands-on code examples to support your learning. Each of these examples is self-contained, allowing you to learn at your own pace—you can start at the beginning of the book or the middle, and you’ll still be able to follow the exercises.

    I am really impressed with this book.
    It is well written and designed, it is good for beginners and more experienced.
    It covers a wide range of topics and wide range of nuances, has a great in depth index section that can be used for references.
    This book really is a pleasure to read and will be my go to book for references.
    Tip: If there is some more complex stuff in the book that you do not understand I recommend using CHAT GPT while reading as a reading tool to break down source code or paragraphs, it is a great companion for studying.

    It has practical example. Its well, organized with diagrams and highlighted sections. It's skimable, It doesn't waste time with paragraphs of text to explain simple things like what a variable is. But It attacks complex concepts with through and concise explanations . Its the best book on javascript I've bought.

    With SAP's focus on cloud based architecture, I needed to learn about JavaScript and how it can be used in SAP application development. This guide truly is comprehensive - starting at programming basic concepts and continuing through advanced applications like node.js. I especially liked the chapter on developing a professional development process. It is good to see Philip give attention to source code management and version control. Philip is very knowledgeable with application development in JavaScript and has written an excellent resource for anyone looking to learn JavaScript for the first time or seasoned developers looking for perfecting a specific skill.

    I bought this book a few months ago, read a few pages, and then put it aside because my developer friends said the best way to learn coding is by checking official documentation and building your projects.

    However, I’ve realized that many developers feel like impostors because they don’t truly understand how the code works behind the scenes. They often rely on trial and error to get their results. With books, you learn things in a structured way. You might not remember everything, but once you’ve read and understood it, you can recall it while coding, look it up, and know how to apply it in your situation.

    I’m so happy I bought this book. I've read a quarter of it and I’m thrilled. The knowledge I have is starting to come together.

    Special thanks to Philip Ackermann, Sebastian Springer, and Rheinwerk Publishing. Please keep releasing new editions!
