JavaScript, the lingua franca of the web, has become increasingly popular in recent years and is now used in many different areas. Be it web, mobile or server application development: JavaScript does a good job in all areas.
This book provides comprehensive insight into this important language that has become indispensable to web developers. Don't worry if you've never programmed before—you will also get an introduction to the basics of programming.
Although JavaScript appears to be quite simple at first glance and has long been considered a simple scripting language, this is not quite true. The specification behind JavaScript, called the ECMAScript standard, comprises more than a thousand pages. The specifications of the various application programming interfaces (APIs) that we discuss in this book are even more extensive in total. You can also write entire books on the JavaScript jQuery library and the Node.js platform. In a nutshell: it is not possible to discuss all these topics in detail in a single book, nor is this my goal.
The word comprehensive used in the title is not meant in the sense of all-encompassing, but in the sense of detailed, extensive, and versatile. I'll show you the basics of JavaScript; how to build web, server-side, and mobile applications using JavaScript; how to control microcontrollers using JavaScript; and a lot more. It is more important for me to demonstrate the most central and practical aspects, i.e. the aspects that you need in every-day JavaScript development, instead of discussing every last detail in an allencompassing way.
