Once upon a time in the Cyber World, Javascript is but a humble programming language that works silently behind web pages. Simple, robust, and easy to learn. That was Javascript in the early days.
But as the Internet grew with the rise of mobile devices, things became increasingly complicated. The demand for complex operations and functional capabilities changed. People started to brand Javascript as “slow”, “useless”, and “too simplistic”.
Little did these people know, Javascript developers did not just sit down and watch things burn down to the ground. Even wonder why Javascript is one of the world’s most popular programming languages? It is still an easy language for beginners to learn, but it is also disgustingly capable.
If you dig deep enough, Javascript can actually do a plethora of “unthinkable” things – Accessing the GPS coordinates, reading the gyroscope, creating a local database, asynchronous processing, threading, voice recognition, taking photos, real-time systems, etc...
This book explores some of the “unthinkable side” of Javascript where many did not even thread on.
