Key Features

[*]Explore the new features of ECMAScript 6 and how they can be incorporated to build cutting edge web applications
[*]Learn about modern web architectures and build real-world apps on top of them
[*]Make use of modern JavaScript tools, techniques and frameworks to enhance your web development skills

Book DescriptionOver the years, JavaScript has become vital to the development of a wide range of applications with different architectures. But JS moves lightning fast, and it's easy to fall behind. Modern JavaScript Applications is designed to get you exploring the latest features of JavaScript and how they can be applied to develop high-quality applications with different architectures.

Begin by creating a single page application that builds on the innovative MVC approach using AngularJS, then move forward to develop an enterprise-level application with the microservices architecture using Node to build web services. After that, shift your focus to network programming concepts as you build a real-time web application with websockets. Learn to build responsive, declarative UIs with React and Bootstrap, and see how the performance of web applications can be enhanced using Functional Reactive Programming (FRP). Along the way, explore how the power of JavaScript can be increased multi-fold with high performance techniques.
By the end of the book, you'll be a skilled JavaScript developer with a solid knowledge of the latest JavaScript techniques, tools, and architecture to build modern web apps.
