The JavaScript Design Patterns and Best Practices Collection
Packt Publishing
Summary
Overview
We’ve all reached a stage where we struggle to write simple and expressive code. It’s in these cases where design patterns come to our rescue.
We start off this course with idiomatic JavaScript, helping you get to grips with modern JS. From stabilizing our foundation in OOP coding, we will move on to cover DOM manipulation in a simple and approachable manner.
We’ll then move onto one of the most common concerns presented to us by front-end web developers. When creating a cross-browser application, how do you know if a feature is supported or not? As a bonus, we also dive into the latest JS refresh that is ES6. ES6 is an exciting collection of new language features and paradigms and we’ll get you started with using polyfills and transpilers right away.
Once you are well-acquainted with all the tips and tricks of JavaScript, we’ll move on to design pattern techniques. Starting with an introduction to design patterns, we look at creational, structural, and behavioural patterns. We include also include coverage of functional programming, model view patterns, patterns to build web applications, and messaging. A number of very interesting advanced JavaScript patterns such as dependency injection and live post processing are also detailed in a practical context.
On completion of this course you will have seen over 20 modern and classic design patterns in action, so that you can apply them to tackling the challenges that arise in real-world web application development.
