Book Description

Over the years, JavaScript has become vital to the development of a wide range of applications with different architectures. But JS moves lightning fast, and it’s easy to fall behind. Modern JavaScript Applications is designed to get you exploring the latest features of JavaScript and how they can be applied to develop high-quality applications with different architectures.

After that, shift your focus to network programming concepts as you build a real-time web application with websockets. Learn to build responsive, declarative UIs with React and Bootstrap, and see how the performance of web applications can be enhanced using Functional Reactive Programming (FRP). Along the way, explore how the power of JavaScript can be increased multi-fold with high performance techniques.
By the end of the book, you’ll be a skilled JavaScript developer with a solid knowledge of the latest JavaScript techniques, tools, and architecture to build modern web apps.
