Effective JavaScript: 68 Specific Ways to Harness the Power of JavaScript
- Better ways to use prototype-based object-oriented programming
- Subtleties and solutions for working with arrays and dictionary objects
- Precise and practical explanations of JavaScript’s functions and variable scoping semantics
- Useful JavaScript programming patterns and idioms, such as options objects and method chaining
- In-depth guidance on using JavaScript’s unique “run-to-completion” approach to concurrency
In Effective JavaScript: 68 Specific Ways to Harness the Power of JavaScript, long-time JavaScript standards committee insider David Herman introduces 30 powerful ways to write more efficient and more robust software with the latest version of JavaScript. Utilizing the concise, scenario-driven style pioneered by Scott Meyers in his best-selling Effective C++, Herman brings together tips, techniques, shortcuts, and realistic code examples available in no other book. Drawing on his profound understanding of JavaScript’s design, history, strengths, and weaknesses, Herman focuses on capturing JavaScript’s full expressive power.
Effective JavaScript: 68 Specific Ways to Harness the Power of JavaScript is an in-depth look at the JavaScript programming language and how to use it effectively to write more portable, robust, and maintainable applications and libraries. Using the concise, scenario-driven style of the Effective Software Development Series, this book brings together tips, techniques, and realistic code examples to explain the important concepts in JavaScript. Effective JavaScript: 68 Specific Ways to Harness the Power of JavaScript is organized around 68 proven approaches for writing better JavaScript, backed by concrete examples.
In order to truly master JavaScript, you need to learn how to work effectively with the language’s flexible, expressive features and how to avoid its pitfalls.
