Good stuff. Insightful content.
By Dr Mike VINE VOICE on October 13, 2014
Format: Paperback Vine Customer Review of Free Product ( What's this? )
According to the author, this book is not an introduction to Javascript, but intended for an intermediate coder who is looking to produce a complete self-contained app based entirely on Javascript. In addition, the book is intended to demonstrate the need for flexibility in coding, and avoiding the pitfalls that make the code too rigid and difficult to modify during the app lifespan.

The text has lots of jargon in it and even creates new jargon. For the Javascript novice moving toward the intermediate level, this may slow down your appreciation of the content and at times be confusing, but stick with it. You are both unlearning bad habits in the process of reading this book, as well as learning better approaches to coding from scratch. Consequently, I actually believe that novice coders would benefit from reviewing this book early on because it makes the case for coding in a highly consistent manner. It also reviews coding logic that might otherwise be lost to a novice coder who would likely pick up bad habits by sloppy coding that may work at first, but which is neither efficient nor amenable to modifications as their app program evolves. Being aware of this book is especially useful if the novice coder is learning Javascript completely on their own.

I got a lot of this book, and there is plenty still here for me to go over again and again. I felt this was targeted exactly at my level of coding experience (I've done a lot of script coding and a couple of complete Javascript apps). The book left me wanting more information, particularly with respect to DOM manipulation and local storage. So I would say this is an incomplete book in some ways, but if you consider it a stepping stone in your coding education, you'll appreciate it more.Read more ›

You'll learn a lot and get a lot done by reading this book
By David F. Kaye on October 14, 2014
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This a cook's tour--but with more stops along the way--of building applications entirely with JavaScript, with clear examples for both server-side (really Node.js) and client-side environments.

It is not a book for a beginner who is new to the language of JavaScript. But if you're already comfortable using and discussing constructors, prototypes, callbacks, closures, type coercion, and/or have an opinion about "functional" vs. "object-oriented" programming, then you're ready for this book.

Eric has a handful of strong opinions which I've variously held and abandoned (and grudgingly re-adopted) over time. Most useful to me, then, are examples demonstrating fundamental concepts, and Eric provides plenty of those.

The appendix on JavaScript style is also a great resource, for in it Eric condenses so much of the "best practice" tips you've probably seen scattered throughout the JavaScript universe of discourse.

The only caveat is the one common to all programming books. Some software dates faster than others. In the JavaScript world, this is especially the case. It shows up in the different versions of Express, for example, or the battle between emerging build tools (Grunt vs. Gulp vs. ...) and testing libraries (QUnit vs. Mocha vs...). Eric shows how to care for and feed your application using Grunt with JSHint, QUnit and browserify. This works well enough that you should be able to swap out what you don't need for newer/faster/better modules and tools in the future, by which time the second edition should be ready (right, Eric? :).

Excellent Reference for the Professional Web Developer
By J. Schneider VINE VOICE on October 10, 2014
Format: Paperback Vine Customer Review of Free Product ( What's this? )
The web is loaded with great resources for simple Javascript tips and tricks, but this book is a handy reference for the professional web application developer who needs to make testable, reusable applications in an enterprise setting. The writing is at a high level, though: it is assumed that you already know simple Javascript, and it wouldn't hurt to understand some of the concepts touched on throughout, MVC, multi-tiered development, unit test scripting, access control, REST, logging, modularity, separation of concerns, etc... definitely not for beginners, which it says in the intro. Easy to read and should be useful for ongoing reference as well, for professional web developers.
