Book Description

Rethink JavaScript with this complete and comprehensive guide to a unique and innovative approach to the leading language of web development. This book shows you everything you need to learn object oriented JavaScript, demonstrating valuable techniques and strategies that you can use to fully experience the impressive capabilities of the language. Dive deeper into JavaScript and explore its data structure, and learn how to put its objects to work to write more efficient and elegant code. With an object oriented approach to JavaScript you will optimize and improve your projects and productivity, and uncover a modern and forward-thinking development methodology.

Gain an in-depth knowledge of JavaScript’s data structures, and learn how different components interact with one another. Look closely at numbers, Booleans and strings, and learn how arrays, loops and conditions help you to effectively manipulate and work with complex data using JavaScript. You’ll also find guidance and insight into the relationship between functions and objects, as well as accessible instructions on how to use them most effectively when working with JavaScript. Learn how to use prototypes, including augmenting built-in objects and learn coding patterns and design patterns to improve your JavaScript code.

What you will learn

• Harness the full capabilities of JavaScript by learning effective coding patterns
• Learn high quality JavaScript design patterns to tackle common JavaScript development challenges
• Dive in and learn JavaScript’s data structures
• Learn how to use prototypes
• Improve script performance
• Find out how an object oriented approach to JavaScript can improve your programs faster and more functional with other libraries

About the Authors

Stoyan Stefanov is a Facebook engineer, author, and speaker. He talks regularly about web development topics at conferences and his blog www.phpied.com, and also runs a number of other sites, including JSPatterns.com—a site dedicated to exploring JavaScript patterns. Previously at Yahoo!, Stoyan was the architect of YSlow 2.0 and creator of the image optimization tool Smush.it.

Kumar Chetan Sharma studied to be an electronics engineer and has always wanted to build an ultimate sound system. He then, by chance, got a part time job as a trainee HTML guy. From there he picked up CSS and JavaScript and there was no looking back. It was the time when JavaScript was used to validate forms or create fancy DHTML effects and IE6 was the only browser the world knew. He has been developing web applications since then, using LAMP stack. He has worked on white label social networking applications to web control panels for telecom and networked electrical charger infrastructures. He currently works as a frontend engineer for Yahoo! Search.

Reseña del editor

You will first be introduced to object-oriented programming, then to the basics of objects in JavaScript. This book takes a do-it-yourself approach when it comes to writing code, because the best way to really learn a programming language is by writing code. You are encouraged to type code into Firebug's console, see how it works and then tweak it and play around with it. There are practice questions at the end of each chapter to help you review what you have learned.For new to intermediate JavaScript developer who wants to prepare themselves for web development problems solved by smart JavaScript!
