Who This Book Is For

If you are a developer interested in creating easily maintainable applications that can grow and change with your needs, then this book is for you. Some experience with JavaScript (not necessarily with entire applications written in JavaScript) is required to follow the examples written in the book.

In Detail

Applying design patterns to JavaScript code creates more reliable and maintainable code. In this book, you will explore different design patterns and learn where and how to implement them with the help of detailed examples.

In the first part of the book, we start off with an introduction to design patterns, and then move on to creating classical structures that are used to organize code. Next, we look at the creational, structural, and behavioral patterns. The second part of the book dives into patterns used for functional programming, model view patterns, patterns to build web applications, and messaging patterns. A number of very interesting advanced JavaScript patterns such as dependency injection and live postprocessing are also covered.

By the end of this book, you will learn to identify places where a pattern would improve code readability and maintainability.
