Modern JavaScript Web Development Cookbook : Easy Solutions to Common and Everyday JavaScript Development Problems

JavaScript has evolved into a language that you can use on any platform. Modern JavaScript Web Development Cookbook is a perfect blend of solutions for traditional JavaScript development and modern areas that developers have lately been exploring with JavaScript. This comprehensive guide teaches you how to work with JavaScript on servers, browsers, mobile phones and desktops.

You will start by exploring the new features of ES8. You will then move on to learning the use of ES8 on servers (with Node.js), with the objective of producing services and microservices and dealing with authentication and CORS. Once you get accustomed to ES8, you will learn to apply it to browsers using frameworks, such as React and Redux, which interact through Ajax with services. You will then understand the use of a modern framework to develop the UI. In addition to this, development for mobile devices with React Native will walk you through the benefits of creating native apps, both for Android and iOS.

Finally, you'll be able to apply your new-found knowledge of server-side and client-side tools to develop applications with Electron.

What you will learn:

Use the latest features of ES8 and learn new ways to code with JavaScript
Develop server-side services and microservices with Node.js
Learn to do unit testing and to debug your code
Build client-side web applications using React and Redux
Create native mobile applications for Android and iOS with React Native
Write desktop applications with Electron

This book is for developers who want to explore the latest JavaScript features, frameworks, and tools for building complete mobile, desktop and web apps, including server and client-side code. You are expected to have working knowledge of JavaScript to get the most out of this book.
