Professional JavaScript for Web Developers, 4th Edition

Update your skill set for ES 6 and 7 with the ultimate jаvascript guide for pros

Professional jаvascript for Web Developers is the essential guide to next-level jаvascript development. Written for intermediate-to-advanced programmers, this book jumps right into the technical details to help you clean up your code and become a more sophisticated jаvascript developer. From jаvascript-specific object-oriented programming and inheritance, to combining jаvascript with HTML and other markup languages, expert instruction walks you through the fundamentals and beyond. This new fourth edition has been updated to cover ECMAScript 6 and 7 (also known as ES2015 and ES2016) and the major re-imagination and departure from ES 5.1; new frameworks and libraries, new techniques, new testing tools, and more are explained in detail for the professional developer, with a practical focus that helps you put your new skills to work on real-world projects.

The latest—and most dramatic—ES release is already being incorporated into jаvascript engines in major browsers; this, coupled with the rise in mobile web traffic increasing demand for responsive, dynamic web design, means that all web developers need to update their skills—and this book is your ideal resource for quick, relevant guidance.

Even if you think you know jаvascript, new ES releases bring big changes that will affect the way you work. For a professional-level update that doesn't waste time on coding fundamentals, Professional jаvascript for Web Developers is the ultimate resource to bring you up to speed.
