Technical and hard to understand for beginners

Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2020

Verified Purchase

This is a required text for a course on JavaScript. This is a fairly technical text that assumes the reader is well versed in other programming languages. I would prefer a more plainly written text with less programming jargon as I am still a novice. But for someone delving into JavaScript who already knows another language such as php or c++, this might be less of an issue

Great Intro to Design Patterns in Javascript

Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2017

Verified Purchase

Addy does a great job of introducing a variety of design patterns and provides nice examples for each. I'm a pretty new developer so some of the concepts were a bit over my head, but I still got a lot out of this book. I definitely recommend it to any developer regardless of experience level.

Learning JavaScript Design Patterns

Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2012

Learning JavaScript Design Patterns, by Addy Osmani, examines object oriented software design and applies those design principles to the JavaScript language. A design pattern is a reusable solution to a commonly occurring problem in software development. They are flexible guides to best practices that developers implement in their applications. A design pattern is essentially a template for problem solving. While they are not exact solutions to a problem, a design pattern is a guide to a solution.

When web applications move beyond trivial into complex, object oriented programming can provide methods to organize and structure code. JavaScript design patterns can provide reuse-ability of code. Abstraction and encapsulation of code are two advantages to using design patterns in JavaScript. Using object oriented code produces a more modular code that is less likely to clash with other sections of code in the project. Modularity and encapsulation help to prevent an application from falling prey to becoming a mass of spaghetti code that is hard to debug and maintain.

I enjoyed the book's format. Early on the author explains design patterns in a historical context with code examples that relate to Javascript. Later, models and various frameworks are examined with links to additonal resources. The design patterns outlined in chapter 9 receive additonal examples in the chapter on jQuery. I would recommend the book for intermediate to advanced JavaScript coders. The material will not be useful for those with little experience or new to JavaScript.

Disclosure: I received a free e-book copy for review purposes.

Very good read and well tailored to JavaScript in a modern time.

I particularly liked the extensive section on MVC variations and implementations through different JS frameworks.

Design Pattern JavaScript

Reviewed in Italy on January 18, 2013

Verified Purchase

E' un ottimo libro sui design pattern in generale, vengono spiegati in modo eccellente, facendo esempi pratici di codice in JavaScript ovviamente e facendo vedere anche disegni, non capirli è veramente difficile :).

Io conoscevo già quasi tutti i pattern ma non li avevo mai usati per JavaScript, o meglio alcuni li usavo ma non me ne rendevo conto, essendo abituato ad applicarli a linguaggi OO.

E' ovvio che anche se il JavaScript non è un linguaggio complesso è necessario conoscerlo per capire il funzionamento dei Pattern, ma non ne è richiesta una conoscenza avanzata.

Grande Addy

P.S. Sul suo sito c'è la versione HTML limitata ma comunque potete farvi una idea del libro, io ho comprato il libro dopo aver letto versione in HTML del suo sito (il libro contiene parti aggiunrive)

L'ho trovato molto utile da utilizzare ogni volta che si ha un qualche dubbio relativo al linguaggio.
Approfondita la sezione sui pattern MVC molto in voga nelle applicazioni web odierne.
