An example-driven guide that explores the world of modern web development with JavaScriptAbout This Book• Explore the new features of ECMAScript 6 and how they can be incorporated to build cutting edge web applications• Learn about modern web architectures and build real-world apps on top of them• Make use of modern JavaScript tools, techniques and frameworks to enhance your web development skillsWho This Book Is ForThis book is for existing JavaScript developers who want to explore some of the modern JavaScript features, techniques, and architectures to develop cutting edge web applications.What You Will Learn• Learn to create single page websites• Gain expertise in responsive and dynamic website design• Enable Real-time communications between client-client and client-server/server-client• Create APIs for large-scale applications• Write complete applications using functional reactive programmingIn DetailOver the years, JavaScript has taken significant strides in the world of modern web development to enhance the development of a wide range of applications with different architectures. This book explores the advanced and new features that have arrived in JavaScript and how they can be applied to develop high-quality applications with different architectures.The book begins by covering a single page application that builds on the innovative MVC approach using AngularJS. As we move forward, the book shows you how to develop an enterprise-level application with the microservices architecture, using Node to build web services. We then focus on network programming concepts and you'll build a real-time web application with websockets.When you've gained a solid grip on the different architectures, we'll move on to the area where JavaScript shines, that is, UI development. You'll learn to build responsive, declarative UIs with React and Bootstrap. As we near the end of this book, you'll see how the performance of web applications can be enhanced using Functional Reactive Programming (FRP). Along the way, the book also explores how the power of JavaScript can be increased multi-fold.After reading this book, you will have a solid knowledge of the latest JavaScript techniques, tools, and architecture to build modern web apps.Style and approach Covering all the new features in ECMAScript 6, this book takes a project-based approach to introduce you to all the latest techniques, tools, and architectures of JavaScript web development. Each project that the book builds will show you a different angle of the power of JavaScript in modern web development.

Mastering modern JavaScript techniques and the toolchain are essential to develop web-scale applications. This Learning Path will upgrade your skills to ES2015, and you will get to introduce yourself to popular frameworks like React and Angular 2. In the first module, you will get familiar with the language constructs and how to make code easy to organize. You will gain a concrete understanding of variable scoping, loops, and best practices on using types and data structures, as well as the coding style and recommended code organization patterns in JavaScript. By the end of the module, you will understand how reactive JavaScript is going to be the new paradigm.Over the course of the next module, you will explore how design patterns can help you improve and organize your JavaScript code. You'll get to grips with creational, structural, and behavioral patterns and get a deeper look at patterns used in functional programming, as well as model view patterns and patterns to build web applications. By the end of the module, you'll be saved of a lot of trial and error and developmental headaches, and you will be on the road to becoming a JavaScript expert.In the last leg of this course, you will shift your focus to network programming concepts as you build a real-time web application with websockets. Along the way, you'll explore how the power of JavaScript can be increased multi-fold with high performance techniques. By the end of this module, you'll be a skilled JavaScript developer with a solid knowledge of the latest JavaScript techniques, tools, and architecture to build modern web apps.This Learning Path combines some of the best that Packt has to offer in one complete, curated package.
