Today JavaScript is radically different and more powerful than ever. In an environment where
user interfaces are increasingly web-based it's become the lingua franca” of the web browser.
Frameworks such as Electron and platforms like AWS Lambda are extending its power even further.
If you're moving to JavaScript you need to learn modern JavaScript but most guides still
focus on legacy techniques. In Modern JavaScript for the Impatient best-selling author Cay
Horstmann offers a concise complete and practical introduction to today's JavaScript
techniques and tools and shows how to avoid pitfalls from the past. Horstmann shows students
how to take full advantage of the Standard Library modern JavaScript tools asynchronous and
web programming and much more. Students will find especially valuable coverage of toolchains
and frameworks which often baffle JavaScript newcomers. As in Core Java® SE 9 for the
Impatient Horstmann covers plenty of ground but he presents his techniques in small chunks
organized for quick access and easy understanding. This is JavaScript for the projects your
students are starting now - and those they'll be seeing tomorrow.
