The JavaScript Workshop: Learn to develop interactive web applications with clean and maintainable JavaScript code
Get to grips with the fundamentals of JavaScript and learn to build the programming skills that will kickstart your career as a software developer
Key FeaturesLearn the basics of JavaScript programming to create dynamic web pagesExplore the fundamentals of back-end development using Node.jsTackle challenging development problems and apply solutions to real-world situationsBook DescriptionIf you're looking for a programming language to develop flexible and efficient apps, JavaScript is a great choice. However, while offering real benefits, the complexity of the entire JavaScript ecosystem can be overwhelming. This Workshop is a smarter way to learn JavaScript. It is specifically designed to cut through the noise and help build your JavaScript skills from scratch, while sparking your interest with engaging activities and clear explanations.
Starting with explanations of JavaScript's fundamental programming concepts, this book will introduce the key tools, libraries and frameworks that programmers use in everyday development. You will then move on and see how to handle data, control the flow of information in an application, and create custom events. You'll explore the differences between client-side and server-side JavaScript, and expand your knowledge further by studying the different JavaScript development paradigms, including object-oriented and functional programming.
By the end of this JavaScript book, you'll have the confidence and skills to tackle real-world JavaScript development problems that reflect the emerging requirements of the modern web.
What you will learnWrite clean, maintainable and eloquent JavaScript codeBuild websites using plain JS and various frameworks and librariesSimplify your workflow with package managers such as Gulp and GruntUse Node.js to build server-side JavaScript applicationsImprove the functionality of your applications with browser APIsImplement asynchronous programming to build apps that can multitaskWho this book is forThe JavaScript Workshop is the ideal guide to JavaScript for beginners. It is designed for anyone who wants to get started learning JavaScript.

I would recommend this book to people who have experience with another programming language or who have basic JavaScript knowledge and want to take it to a more intermediate level. I would definitely recommend having basic HTML/CSS knowledge before starting this book, since that will really bring everything together.
If you're brand new to programming, this book doesn't really talk about good habits to develop, general programming tips/tricks, nor have the extra detail you need when learning basic concepts/terminology. After you've learned how to start programming elsewhere, come back here to learn how to make JavaScript useful to you.
