Asynchronous Java Script is everywhere whether you're using Ajax Angular JS Nodejs or Web RTC This practical guide shows intermediate to advanced Java Script developers how Promises can help you manage asynchronous code effectively-including the inevitable flood of callbacks as your codebase grows You'll learn the inner workings of Promises & ways to avoid difficulties & missteps when using them The ability to asynchronously fetch data & load scripts in the browser broadens the capabilities of Java Script applications But if you don't understand how the async part works you'll wind up with unpredictable code that's difficult to maintain This book is ideal whether you're new to Promises or want to expand your knowledge of this technology Understand how async Java Script works by delving into callbacks the event loop & threading Learn how Promises organize callbacks into discrete steps that are easier to read & maintain Examine scenarios you'll encounter & techniques you can use when writing real-world applications Use features in the Bluebird library & j Query to work with Promises Learn how the Promise API handles asynchronous errors Explore ECMAScript 6 language features that simplify Promise-related code ...

Most programming languages contain good & bad parts but Java Script has more than its share of the bad having been developed & released in a hurry before it could be refined This authoritative book scrapes away these bad features to reveal a subset of Java Script that's more reliable readable & maintainable than the language as a whole-a subset you can use to create truly extensible & efficient code Considered the Java Script expert by many people in the development community author Douglas Crockford identifies the abundance of good ideas that make Java Script an outstanding object-oriented programming language-ideas such as functions loose typing dynamic objects & an expressive object literal notation Unfortunately these good ideas are mixed in with bad & downright awful ideas like a programming model based on global variables When Java applets failed Java Script became the language of the Web by default making its popularity almost completely independent of its qualities as a programming language In Java Script The Good Parts Crockford finally digs through the steaming pile of good intentions & blunders to give you a detailed look at all the genuinely elegant parts of Java Script including Syntax Objects Functions Inheritance Arrays Regular expressions Methods Style Beautiful features The real beauty? As you move ahead with the subset of Java Script that this book presents you'll also sidestep the need to unlearn all the bad parts Of course if you want to find out more about the bad parts & how to use them badly simply consult any other Java Script book With Java Script The Good Parts you'll discover a beautiful elegant lightweight & highly expressive language that lets you create effective code whether you're managing object libraries or just trying to get Ajax to run fast If you develop sites or applications for the Web this book is an absolute must ...
