Summary

More than ever, the web is a universal platform for all types of applications, and JavaScript is the language of the web. If you're serious about web development, it's not enough to be a decent JavaScript coder. You need to be ninja stealthy, efficient, and ready for anything. This audiobook shows you how.  

Secrets of the JavaScript Ninja, Second Edition uses practical examples to clearly illustrate each core concept and technique. This completely revised edition shows you how to master key JavaScript concepts such as functions, closures, objects, prototypes, and promises. It covers APIs such as the DOM, events, and timers. You’ll discover best practice techniques such as testing and cross-browser development, all taught from the perspective of skilled JavaScript practitioners.  

What’s inside:

  • Writing more effective code with functions, objects, and closures 
  • Learning to avoid JavaScript application pitfalls 
  • Using regular expressions to write succinct text-processing code 
  • Managing asynchronous code with promises 
  • Fully revised to cover concepts from ES6 and ES7  

John Resig is an acknowledged JavaScript authority and the creator of the jQuery library. Bear Bibeault is a web developer and author of the first edition, as well as coauthor of Ajax in Practice, Prototype and Scriptaculous in Action, and jQuery in Action from Manning. Josip Maras is a postdoctoral researcher and teacher.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Fantastic book, almost good adaption to audio

Great content. Wish the code examples were read within the audiobook instead of almost ignored. This audio book serves as a great companion to studying the book, but with the addition of the code being read it would make it more digestible as you could also listen on the go. The content is so good it takes a while to fully digest and learn so being able to listen and understand on the go (with code read) would help this.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
