Features
What JavaScript All-in-One For Dummies covers
Chris Minnick, who wrote Coding All-in-One For Dummies, gives JavaScript a whole 816-page book of its own. It starts with the language itself and carries on into the libraries and runtimes working JavaScript developers use, so it takes you further than a beginner's primer would.
What is inside
- JavaScript fundamentals - variables, data types, functions, objects, arrays and the DOM
- Modern JavaScript - ES modules, promises, async/await and working with APIs
- Front-end frameworks - React, Vue and Svelte, with a comparison of how each approaches the same problems
- Server-side JavaScript - Node.js and talking to databases
- Tooling - the build tools, package managers and testing setup a real project uses
Who it suits
Complete beginners can start at page one, but the book earns its size for people who already know a little HTML and want to become productive in JavaScript specifically. If you want HTML and CSS taught alongside it, HTML, CSS & JavaScript All-in-One For Dummies is the better fit. If you want a broad taste of several languages first, Coding All-in-One For Dummies is.
