Modern JavaScript for the Impatient

Exploit the Power of Modern JavaScript and Avoid the Pitfalls

JavaScript was originally designed for small-scale programming in web browsers, but modern JavaScript is radically different. Nowadays, JavaScript programmers actively embrace functional, object-oriented, and asynchronous programming, while deprecating error-prone concepts from the past. Modern JavaScript for the Impatient is a complete yet concise guide to JavaScript E6 and beyond. Rather than first requiring you to learn and transition from older versions, it helps you quickly get productive with todays 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. Horstmanns practical insights and sample code help you take advantage of all thats new, avoid common pitfalls and obsolete features, and make the most of modern JavaScripts robust toolchains and frameworks.

Avoid legacy techniques that create unnecessary complexity and risk
Make the most of functional, object-oriented, and asynchronous techniques
