Exploit the Power of Modern jаvascript and Avoid the Pitfalls

jаvascript was originally designed for small-scale programming in web browsers, but modern jаvascript is radically different. Nowadays, jаvascript programmers actively embrace functional, object-oriented, and asynchronous programming, while deprecating error-prone concepts from the past. Modern jаvascript for the Impatient is a complete yet concise guide to jаvascript E6 and beyond. Rather than first requiring you to learn and transition from older versions, it helps you quickly get productive with today's far more powerful versions and rapidly move from languages such as Java, C#, C, or C++.

Bestselling programming author Cay S. Horstmann covers all you need to know, provided in small chunks organized for quick access and easy understanding. Horstmann's practical insights and sample code help you take advantage of all that's new, avoid common pitfalls and obsolete features, and make the most of modern jаvascript's robust toolchains and frameworks.

• Quickly master modern jаvascript's implementation of fundamental programming constructs
  
• Avoid legacy techniques that create unnecessary complexity and risk
  
• Make the most of functional, object-oriented, and asynchronous techniques
  
• Use modules to efficiently organize and run complex programs
  
• Write more powerful, flexible, and concise programs with metaprogramming
  
• Extend jаvascript's power via jаvascript libraries, frameworks, and platforms
  

Whether you're just getting started with jаvascript or you're an experienced developer, this guide will help you write tomorrow's most robust, efficient, and secure jаvascript code.
