JavaScript Concurrency

Build better software with concurrent JavaScript programming, and unlock a more efficient and forward thinking approach to web development

Key Features

• Apply the core principles of concurrency to both browser and server side development
• Explore the latest tools and techniques at the forefront of concurrent programming, including JavaScript promises, web workers, and generators
• Learn how concurrent and parallel programming can help you tackle the challenges of fast, data heavy web development

Book Description

What you will learn

• Understand exactly how JavaScript works in a web browser environment, and how these mechanisms power our event-driven JavaScript code
• Use promises to turn complex synchronization scenarios into readable and maintainable values
• Compute values lazily and avoid unnecessary memory allocations using generators.
• Write concurrent code that doesn't feel like concurrent code by abstracting away boilerplate chores
• Leverage true hardware parallelism with web workers to get a better performance
• Get to grips with the NodeJS model of concurrency and learn why it's good for I/O-intensive web applications
