This book helps you explore the vanilla JavaScript and its features in building faster and secure web apps. We'll start with understanding the web frontend, current landscape of the web, and the latest version of ES and JavaScript. You'll dive deep into working with Node.js and learning how web apps can be built without a framework. The book consists of three hands on examples helping you to build a static server with Node.js, exploring Svelte.js with JavaScript, and experiencing GPU acceleration using GLSL and WebGL. Each chapter houses modern techniques like DOM manipulations, v8 engine optimization, etc to help you advance in your understanding of web. Finally, we dive into advanced topics such as WebAssembly and GPU programming and how you can harness their capabilities to speed up your web apps dramatically.
