Summary

More than ever, the web is a universal platform for all types of applications, and JavaScript is the language of the web. If you're serious about web development, it's not enough to be a decent JavaScript coder. You need to be ninja-stealthy, efficient, and ready for anything. This book shows you how.

About the Technology

JavaScript is rapidly becoming a universal language for every type of application, whether on the web, on the desktop, in the cloud, or on mobile devices. When you become a JavaScript pro, you have a powerful skill set that’s usable across all these domains.

About the Book

Secrets of the JavaScript Ninja, Second Edition uses practical examples to clearly illustrate each core concept and technique. This completely revised edition shows you how to master key JavaScript concepts such as functions, closures, objects, prototypes, and promises. It covers APIs such as the DOM, events, and timers. You’ll discover best practice techniques such as testing, and cross-browser development, all taught from the perspective of skilled JavaScript practitioners.

What’s Inside
  • Writing more effective code with functions, objects, and closures
  • Learning to avoid JavaScript application pitfalls
  • Using regular expressions to write succinct text-processing code
  • Managing asynchronous code with promises
  • Fully revised to cover concepts from ES6 and ES7

About the Reader

You don’t have to be a ninja to read this book—just be willing to become one. Are you ready?

      Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

      Bear Bibeault has been writing software for over four decades, starting with a Tic-Tac-Toe program written on a Control Data Cyber supercomputer via a 100-baud teletype. Because he has two degrees in Electrical Engineering, Bear should be probably designing antennas or something like that, but since his first job with Digital Equipment Corporation, he has always been much more fascinated with programming.

      Bear has also served stints with companies such as Dragon Systems, Works.com, Logitech, and even served in the U. S. Military teaching infantry soldiers how to blow things up; the latter teaching him skills crucial for working in Agile software teams.

      In addition to his day job, Bear also writes books (who knew?), runs a small business that creates web applications and offers other media services (but not wedding videography, never wedding videography), and helps to moderate CodeRanch.com as a "marshal" (senior moderator).

      When not planted in front of a computer, Bear likes to cook big food (which accounts for his jeans size), dabble in photography and video editing, ride his Yamaha V-Star, and wear tropical print shirts.

      He works and resides near Austin, TX.
