Preface
In the last few decades, the web and the internet have grown by leaps and bounds, and it is now nothing short of omnipresent. JavaScript, the soul of the web and as old as the internet itself, still continues to grow and prosper. Numerous web and mobile JavaScript frameworks introduced to the world in the last few years, unleash the potential of JavaScript and make software application development, a very structured and easy to learn the process. The primary objective of this book is to create a strong foundation for web development by covering all aspects of it in one place. Starting from the basics of HTML, CSS and JavaScript, it brings about the different concepts of functional and object-oriented programming along with asynchronous constructs in JavaScript and goes on to introduce one of the popular JavaScript frameworks of today, React. This book includes step by step illustration of the development of two simple applications, using all the knowledge acquired here. This book also covers the supporting areas of the development process, which includes debugging, testing and deployment. This book will take you through the entire learning journey from Beginner to Expert supported with extensive code snippets, best practices, and concludes with applying the acquired knowledge to build real-life applications.
This book is divided into 18 chapters, and it will take you through the entire learning journey of Web application development from Beginner to Expert supported with code snippets and concludes with applying the acquired knowledge to build real-life applications.
Chapter 1 starts with the history of web development with Javascript, how it got started as a feeble companion and turned out to revolutionize the complete web development and how it continues to evolve and grow stronger and better.
Chapter 2 summarizes all the important HTML tags and how they can be used to put together the content for your web page. Starting with the basics, we will explore the new semantic tags and also different constructs like lists, links, forms, and images.
Chapter 3 introduces CSS, which will be used to beautify the content in numerous ways. It explores the power of CSS, understanding the CSS box model, positioning elements, and making your page responsive.
Chapter 4 discusses the basics of JavaScript, the multifaceted scripting language of the web, starting from variables to functions and event handling.
Chapter 5 discusses the functional programming paradigm which focuses on computing output rather than performing actions, i.e. focus on what to be done not on how and addresses functional programming using JavaScript
Chapter 6 describes the power of object-oriented programming(OOP), which enables you to start thinking as working with real-life entities or objects and understanding OOP in JavaScript.
Chapter 7 describes what is asynchronous flow and how it is achieved in JavaScript.
Chapter 8 introduces ECMA standards and discovers the new features(ES2019) and the essential changes of ES2015(ES6) of JavaScript with examples to put them to use in your applications.
Chapter 9 explains the process of building a full-fledged application from scratch, putting to use the knowledge of HTML, CSS and JavaScript acquired so far.
Chapter 10 describes how to debug, how to add logs, how to view the different DOM elements and track change of values in JavaScript applications.
Chapter 11 explains the need for Unit Testing and how it can be automated for web development using JavaScript testing frameworks like Jasmine.
Chapter 12 covers detailed steps to host your static application on the cloud platform so that your application is accessible over the internet using a URL.
Chapter 13 covers general JavaScript best practices to follow for any application development and some ve
