Key Topics Covered: Why should you learn JavaScript? Storing data in variables, arrays, and objects Making decisions with logical statements and loops Writing efficient, maintainable code with functions, methods, and classes Manipulating the DOM with JavaScript to add interactivity and bring web pages to life Using local storage and cookies to save user data What are the key takeaways from this book? This book helps students get to grips with JavaScript fundamentals and apply them in code. It covers the components needed to write scripts, shows you how to apply JavaScript to create interactive web pages, and contains many exercises to get hands-on experience. Understanding the building blocks of JavaScript provides a foundation for your own applications, and the quick guides on HTML and JSON really make it the only book you’ll need when learning JavaScript for web development. Key Features: Learn to write idiomatic JavaScript code, and create effective, customizable programs to complete tasks and solve problems Add JavaScript to web pages using the latest HTML5 features, and add images, drawings, and animations using the Canvas API Implement your knowledge in a variety of challenging exercises and exciting projects, which will consolidate your learning and push your abilities to the limit What makes this book necessary? What gap does it fill? As the internet evolves, learning how to create custom user experiences is essential to the modern web experience. JavaScript is one of the core technologies for the web, alongside HTML and CSS, and it's an essential skill to have as a modern web developer. As a more hands-on form of learning than many of the other books out there, writing real code and having the ability to see your programs in action is a great way to learn to program. This book is filled with coding examples, setting the learner on the right path for practicing and creating interactive web content. We wanted a book that could be used in live classroom training. We wanted it to give students something after the course if we didn’t manage to cover all the topics. Therefore, the exercises are designed as starter projects which can be used as a reference for real-world applications to gain more experience and begin an original portfolio. How does your book differ from other JavaScript books? This book is a one-stop shop to learn JavaScript, starting from an absolute beginner level up to an employable skill level. It doesn’t just cover the theory and show how things are done conceptually, but it also invites you to put your newly acquired knowledge into practice in a unique and innovative way. We give particular focus to projects that create experiences for web users, bringing all aspects of coding together. By focusing on the browser’s DOM on top of pure JavaScript at an early stage, we demonstrate how simple techniques can create very real experiences. This is where your level of JavaScript should start to feel like an applicable skill. Once you’ve completed the book, we introduce a variety of frameworks and libraries to give an idea of the directions a JavaScript programmer could take. The step to developing with environments, frameworks, and libraries like Node.js, Angular, and React has gotten smaller in recent years, and we aim to point you in the right direction.
