Description

"This code works, but there must be a simpler way." JavaScript hides lots of power behind techniques with approaches or even names that are not obvious. Developers who want to create more streamlined code with JavaScript’s less visible—and often more powerful—options may need some extra information. In this course, web designer, author, and trainer Joe Chellman highlights hard-to-find techniques that can make a huge difference in how you use JavaScript. After explaining why even experienced developers may still find JavaScript tricky, Joe jumps right into alternatives to speed up loops and process arrays with loops more elegantly. He clears up some confusion around objects, binding, and more. Joe concludes with some sound advice on functions, including how to pass extra named parameters, how to get a function signature to accept arrays, and how to determine which parameters come first more efficiently.

Instructor's Courses

Right off the top: if you want to reach me about lynda.com / LinkedIn Learning courses, please write to lynda.com technical support: https://www.linkedin.com/help/lynda/ask, or to me directly on my website: http://shoofly.us/contact. Either one of those will get you an infinitely faster response. I've made most of my living as a web developer and designer, and I'm always interested in finding new things to do and learn. The scope tends to be somewhat small because I work with a lot of people and organizations with very small budgets, so I'm not the guy who's trying to Change The World of Web Design. I want to continually do a better job than I did last year. Since 2010, I've been very actively involved in helping other developers, professional, enthusiast, and aspirational, learn some of the tools of the trade. Partnering with publishers like lynda.com/LinkedIn, O'Reilly, Peachpit, and video2brain, I've produced videos on JavaScript, WordPress, Drupal, and version control software. I've also co-written a book and tech edited another. This work might have the longest reach of anything I've done, which is gratifying and kind of crazy. I also am a professional-caliber drummer with a distinct lack of professional ambition. I like to record and play live, but tour relatively rarely.
