Take advantage of JavaScript’s power to build robust web-scale or enterprise applications that are easy to extend and maintain. By applying the design patterns outlined in this practical book, experienced JavaScript developers will learn how to write flexible and resilient code that’s easier―yes, easier―to work with as your code base grows.

JavaScript may be the most essential web programming language, but in the real world, JavaScript applications often break when you make changes. With this book, author Eric Elliott shows you how to add client- and server-side features to a large JavaScript application without negatively affecting the rest of your code.

  • Examine the anatomy of a large-scale JavaScript application
  • Build modern web apps with the capabilities of desktop applications
  • Learn best practices for code organization, modularity, and reuse
  • Separate your application into different layers of responsibility
  • Build efficient, self-describing hypermedia APIs with Node.js
  • Test, integrate, and deploy software updates in rapid cycles
  • Control resource access with user authentication and authorization
  • Expand your application’s reach through internationalization

    4.0 out of 5 stars You'll learn a lot and get a lot done by reading this book
    Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    This a cook's tour--but with more stops along the way--of building applications entirely with JavaScript, with clear examples for both server-side (really Node.js) and client-side environments.

    It is not a book for a beginner who is new to the language of JavaScript. But if you're already comfortable using and discussing constructors, prototypes, callbacks, closures, type coercion, and/or have an opinion about "functional" vs. "object-oriented" programming, then you're ready for this book.

    Eric has a handful of strong opinions which I've variously held and abandoned (and grudgingly re-adopted) over time. Most useful to me, then, are examples demonstrating fundamental concepts, and Eric provides plenty of those.

    The appendix on JavaScript style is also a great resource, for in it Eric condenses so much of the "best practice" tips you've probably seen scattered throughout the JavaScript universe of discourse.

    The only caveat is the one common to all programming books. Some software dates faster than others. In the JavaScript world, this is especially the case. It shows up in the different versions of Express, for example, or the battle between emerging build tools (Grunt vs. Gulp vs. ...) and testing libraries (QUnit vs. Mocha vs...). Eric shows how to care for and feed your application using Grunt with JSHint, QUnit and browserify. This works well enough that you should be able to swap out what you don't need for newer/faster/better modules and tools in the future, by which time the second edition should be ready (right, Eric? :).

    this book really is a phenomenal next step to take after reading "JavaScript: the good parts". To me, one of the best aspects of this book is how every concept introduced is demonstrated via a unit test. If you are looking to take your JavaScript skills to the next level, seriously consider buying this amazing resource.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Can't Decide Who Its Audience Is - Too Complex for Beginners, Too Simple for Pros
    Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2017
    Verified Purchase
    I'm giving a rough review, but I want to start with a caveat - it's not a _bad_ book. It's well written, easy to read, and contains some good information. That said, here's the problem I have with it: The author doesn't seem to be clear who he wrote it for. It's too complex for beginners, and too simple for pros.

    I'm an experienced JavaScript developer, but I'm now learning HTML5 and Node. This book looked like a sure thing. Unlike most O'Reilly books I've read, however, this book is more of a high-level overview than a deep technical resource.

    First, I don't even know why HTML5 is in the title. It barely touches on anything HTML5-related at all. It does use HTML, but none of the new HTML5 features.

    Second, I've already read a beginners Node book, and thank God for that. This book goes thru a couple chapters where examples use Node-specific features and APIs, but it doesn't explain them in a useful way for anyone who doesn't know Node already. Once it does try to explain Node in some detail, it barely scratches the surface - just a high level overview of the very basics. That would be OK if it dove deep into pro-level features, but it doesn't do much of that either. It shows how he would write some things in Node, and it recommends certain Node libraries, etc., but it didn't teach me much about how to actually build my own web app from scratch with Node.

    The same is true of JavaScript. If you're new to JavaScript, don't even bother with this book. It is NOT for beginners. It assumes a lot of experience - so much so that even I was confused at times and I'm experienced. But for a pro, it doesn't really go deeply enough into anything technical with JS. There are lots of examples, sure - but it's more like, "Here's how wrote this thing that I wrote" - without a whole lot of depth.

    Third, the title mentions "Modern JS Libraries" - but again it barely scratches the surface. Elliott gives a quick high-level overview of Backbone and several other libraries, but it's just an intro. I can't say I learned anything meaningful about writing an app with Backbone, Angular, or the other libs he touches on. I know their names and have the ability to go do more research, but that's about it.

    The author is clearly very technically strong and experienced, but he assumes his readers are too. I've been a web developer for 20 years, and I have a broad range of experience - and again, thank God. He talks about a lot of things that assume deep technical and industry experience. If you're a beginner you will be lost. If you're a pro, you'll be frustrated that he starts to get somewhat deep on certain things but then quickly moves on. This is not a technical resource I'll bookmark and keep on the shelf by my desk. It's just not that deep, at all.

    To be fair, what this book does to well is discuss, at a high level, many of the general considerations a team would have when building a web app and some of the problems they might face. Again, though, it's a overview, not a meaningful technical road map.

    Final word: This really isn't a _bad_ book, it's just not the book I expected. I'm a JS pro and an intermediate server-side guy, and I closed it asking myself, "What did I really learn from this?" I did learn some things - but I didn't learn how to build a JS App with Node, HTML5, or Modern JS Libraries. I'll need to read several more books for that. #sigh

    Fantastico: per chi lavora sul JavaScript da almeno un annetto permette di avere una visione più avanzata ed aperta su quello che il JavaScript può davvero fare. Potenzia alcuni punti focali, dei quali si pensava di avere già il massimo controllo.
    Consigliatissimo anche per chi lavora su JavaScript da pochi mesi...
