About Practical Modern JavaScript: Dive Into ES6 And The
Product Description To get the most out of modern JavaScript, you need learn the latest features of its parent specification, ECMAScript 6 (ES6). This book provides a highly practical look at ES6, without getting lost in the specification or its implementation details. Armed with practical examples, author Nicolas Bevacqua shows you new ways to deal with asynchronous flow control, declare objects or functions, and create proxies or unique sets, among many other features. The first title in Bevacqua’s Modular JavaScript series, Practical Modern JavaScript prepares JavaScript and Node.js developers for applied lessons in modular design, testing, and deployment in subsequent books. This book explains: How JavaScript and its standards development process have evolved Essential ES6 changes, including arrow functions, destructuring, let and const Class syntax for declaring object prototypes, and the new Symbol primitive How to handle flow control with Promises, iterators, generators, and async functions ES6 collection built-in types for creating object maps and unique sets How and when to use the new Proxy and Reflect built-ins Changes to Array, Math, numbers, strings, Unicode, and regular expressions, and other improvements since ES5 Review When I created JavaScript in 1995, I had no definite idea that it would become the most widely used programming language on the Internet. This Modular JavaScript Book Series fulfills my hope for an incremental and straightforward pedagogy about JavaScript. I encourage you to dive in, to discover and embrace JavaScript, and to contribute to developing a better Web for everyone. - Brendan Eich (creator of JavaScript) Practical Modern JavaScript brings a whole ton of new syntax and semantics that makes your code more expressive and declarative. Nicolás does an amazing job of distilling this with simple examples so you can get up to speed quickly. - Kent C. Dodds (PayPal, TC39) Nicolás demystifies the massive ES6 specification with a pragmatic and practical dive into the features that are redefining modern JavaScript development. - Rod Vagg (NodeSource, Node.js TSC) Nicolás has an amazing ability to break down highly complex technical topics into easy-to-understand prose and sample code. - Mathias Bynens (Google, TC39) JavaScript is a tough language to master, and the 2015 edition adds a lot of new features. Practical Modern JavaScript helps break them down and explains use cases, conceptual models, and best practices, with simple examples - making these new patterns much easier to grasp. - Jordan Harband (Airbnb, TC39) About the Author Nicolás is a renowned JavaScript expert and the published author of JavaScript Application Design (Manning 2015), a book on JavaScript processes and quality design; and Practical Modern JavaScript (O'Reilly Media, 2017), a book on the ECMAScript specification. Besides writing books and articles for ponyfoo.com, he also likes giving conference talks and contributing to open-source.
