More than ever, the web is a universal platform for all types of applications, and JavaScript is the language of the web. If you're serious about web development, it's not enough to be a decent JavaScript coder.
You need to be ninja-stealthy, efficient, and ready for anything.
Secrets of the JavaScript Ninja, Second Edition takes you below the surface and helps you understand the deceptively-complex world of JavaScript and browser-based application development.
You'll skip the basics, and dive into core JavaScript concepts such as functions, closures, objects, prototypes, promises, and so on. With examples, illustrations, and insightful explanations, you'll benefit from the collective wisdom of seasoned experts John Resig, Bear Bibeault, and Josip Maras.
Discover how the individual parts of a web application come together on the browser as a platform
Learn how functions, objects, and closures work in JavaScript and how you can use them to write simpler, more effective code
Anticipate common application pitfalls and discover how to avoid them
Write succinct code for text processing with regular expressions
Manage asynchronous code with promises
Use arrays efficiently, with a focus on succinct functionally-oriented API methods
Embrace the concepts from ES6
Grok the browser infrastructure for events, timers, web workers, and the DOM so you can write more performant applications
Understand the difficulty of cross-browser development and learn techniques for developing cross-browser strategies
John Resig is an acknowledged JavaScript authority and the creator of the jQuery library.
Bear Bibeault is a web developer and coauthor of Ajax in Practice, Prototype and Scriptaculous in Action, and jQuery in Action from Manning.
Josip Maras is a post-doctoral researcher and teacher whose thesis on automating reuse in web application development included implementing a JavaScript interpreter in JavaScript.
