It's not uncommon these days to see people complaining about just how complex JavaScript development seems to have become. We can have some sympathy with that view when it's coming from someone new to the language. If you're learning JS, it won't take long for you to be exposed to the enormity of the ecosystem and the sheer number of moving pieces you need to understand (at least conceptually) to build a modern web application. Package management, linting, transpilation, module bundling, minification, source maps, frameworks, unit testing, hot reloading... it can't be denied that this is a lot more complex that just including a couple of script tags in your page and FTPing it up to the server. Included topics: The Anatomy of a Modern JavaScript Application by James Kolce An Introduction to Gulp.js by Craig Buckler The Basics of DOM Manipulation in Vanilla JavaScript (No jQuery) by Sebastian Seitz A Beginner's Guide to Webpack 2 and Module Bundling by Mark Brown React vs Angular: An In-depth Comparison by Pavels Jelisejevs Retrofit Your Website as a Progressive Web App by Craig Buckler 10 Tips to Become a Better Node Developer by Azat Mardan An Introduction to Functional JavaScript by M. David Green An Introduction to Chart.js 2.0 : Six Simple Examples by Jack Rometty Learning JavaScript Test-Driven Development by Example by James Wright This book is for intermediate level JavaScript developers. Some experience of JavaScript development is assumed.

While there have been quite a few attempts to get JavaScript working as a server-side language, Node.js (frequently just called Node) has been the first environment that's gained any traction. It's now used by companies such as Netflix, Uber and Paypal to power their web apps. Node allows for blazingly fast performance; thanks to its event loop model, common tasks like network connection and database I/O can be executed very quickly indeed. In this book, we offer a selection of nine different practical projects that you can follow along with. It contains: Build a Simple Beginner App with Node, Bootstrap & MongoDB by James Hibbard How to Build a File Upload Form with Express and Dropzone.js by Lukas White How to Build and Structure a Node.js MVC Application by James Kolce User Authentication with the MEAN Stack by Simon Holmes & Jeremy Wilken Build a JavaScript Command Line Interface (CLI) with Node.js by Lukas White & Michael Wanyoike Building a Real-time Chat App with Sails.js by Michael Wanyoike Passport Authentication for Node.js Applications by Paul Orac Local Authentication Using Passport in Node.js by Paul Orac An Introduction to NodeBots by Patrick Catanzariti This book is for anyone who wants to start learning server-side development with Node.js. Familiarity with JavaScript is assumed.

There's no doubt that the JavaScript ecosystem changes fast. Not only are new tools and frameworks introduced and developed at a rapid rate, the language itself has undergone big changes with the introduction of ES2015 (aka ES6) and further revisions. Understandably, many articles have been written complaining about how difficult it is to learn modern JavaScript development these days. We're aiming to minimize that confusion with this set of books on modern JavaScript. This collection contains: Practical ES6 is a collection of articles introducing many of the powerful new JavaScript language features that were introduced in ECMAScript 2015, as well as features introduced in ECMAScript 2016 and 2017. It also takes a look at the features planned for ECMAScript 2018 in this rapidly evolving language. JavaScript: Best Practice presents articles discussing modern JavaScript best practice, enabling you to write more powerful code that is clean, performant, maintainable, and reusable. 6 JavaScript Projects presents six complete JavaScript projects; each taking advantage of modern JavaScript and its ecosystem. You'll learn to build several different apps, and along the way you'll pick up a ton of useful advice, tips, and techniques. Modern JavaScript Tools & Skills contains a collection of articles outlining essential tools and skills that every modern JavaScript developer should know. This book is for all front-end developers who wish to improve their JavaScript skills. You'll need to be familiar with HTML and CSS and have a reasonable level of understanding of JavaScript in order to follow the discussion.
