If you're an experienced developer looking to solve problems related to objects, functions, inheritance, and other language-specific categories, the abstractions and code templates in this guide are ideal—whether you're using JavaScript to write a client-side, server-side, or desktop application. Written by JavaScript expert Stoyan Stefanov—Senior Yahoo! Technical and architect of YSlow 2.0, the web page performance optimization tool—JavaScript Patterns includes practical advice for implementing each pattern discussed, along with several hands-on examples. You'll also learn about anti-patterns: common programming approaches that cause more problems than they solve. Explore useful habits for writing high-quality JavaScript code, such as avoiding globals, using single var declarations, and more Learn why literal notation patterns are simpler alternatives to constructor functions Discover different ways to define a function in JavaScript Create objects that go beyond the basic patterns of using object literals and constructor functions Learn the options available for code reuse and inheritance in JavaScript Study sample JavaScript approaches to common design patterns such as Singleton, Factory, Decorator, and more Examine patterns that apply specifically to the client-side browser environment

Recomenda-se que o leitor tenha experiência prévia em programação. Qual é a melhor maneira de desenvolver uma aplicação em JavaScript? Este livro, ao apresentar inúmeros padrões e as melhores práticas no JavaScript, vai ajudá-lo a responder a essa pergunta. Se você for um desenvolvedor experiente e está tentando resolver problemas relacionados a objetos, funções, herança e outras categorias específicas à linguagem, as abstrações e os modelos de código deste guia são ideais — independentemente de você estar escrevendo uma aplicação JavaScript no lado do cliente, no lado do servidor ou uma aplicação desktop. Escrito pelo especialista em JavaScript Stoyan Stefanov — técnico sênior do Yahoo! e arquiteto da YSlow 2.0, ferramenta de otimização de desempenho de páginas web —, Padrões JavaScript inclui diversos conselhos práticos para implementar cada padrão discutido, além de vários exemplos práticos. Você também aprenderá o que são antipadrões: abordagens de programação que causam mais problemas do que os resolvem. Explore hábitos úteis para escrever código JavaScript de alta qualidade, evitando globais, usando declarações de var único e muito mais. Aprenda por que os padrões de notação literal são alternativas simples para as funções construtoras. Descubra diferentes maneiras de definir uma função em JavaScript. Crie objetos que vão além dos padrões básicos de uso de objetos literais e funções construtoras. Aprenda sobre as opções disponíveis para reutilização de código e herança em JavaScript. Estude exemplos de abordagens JavaScript para padrões de projeto famosos, como Singleton, Fábrica (Factory), Decorador (Decorator) e muitos outros. Examine os padrões que se aplicam especificamente ao ambiente de navegador no lado do cliente. “Stoyan escreveu o guia prático definitivo para desenvolvedores JavaScript que trabalham em aplicações web de larga escala”, Ryan Grove, engenheiro da biblioteca YUI, Yahoo!

What You Will Learn Get acquainted with the basics of JavaScript language constructs along with object-oriented programming and its application. Learn to build scalable server application in JavaScript using Node.js Generate instances in three programming languages: Python, JavaScript, and C# Work with a combination of access modifiers, prefixes, properties, fields, attributes, and local variables to encapsulate and hide data Master DOM manipulation, cross-browser strategies, and ES6 Identify and apply the most common design patterns such as Singleton, Factory, Observer, Model-View-Controller, and Mediator Patterns Design applications using a modular architecture based on SOLID principles In Detail JavaScript is the behavior, the third pillar in today's paradigm that looks at web pages as something that consists of : content (HTML), presentation (CSS), and behavior (JavaScript). Using JavaScript, you can create interactive web pages along with desktop widgets, browser, and application extensions, and other pieces of software. Object-oriented programming, which is popularly known as OOP, is basically based on the concept of objects rather than actions. The first module will help you master JavaScript and build futuristic web applications. You will start by getting acquainted with the language constructs and how to organize code easily. You develop concrete understanding of variable scoping, loops, and best practices on using types and data structures, as well as the coding style and recommended code organization patterns in JavaScript. The book will also teach you how to use arrays and objects as data structures. By the end of the book, you will understand how reactive JavaScript is going to be the new paradigm. The second module is an easy-to-follow course, which includes hands-on examples of solutions to common problems with object-oriented code. It will help to identify objects from real-life scenarios, to protect and hide data with the data encapsulation features of Python, JavaScript, and C#. You will discover the advantage of duck typing in both Python and JavaScript, while you work with interfaces and generics in C#. With a fair understanding of interfaces, multiple inheritance, and composition, you will move on to refactor existing code and to organize your source for easy maintenance and extension. The third module takes you through all the in-depth and exciting futures hidden behind the facade. You should read through this course if you want to be able to take your JavaScript skills to a new level of sophistication. Style and approach This course is a comprehensive guide where each chapter consists of best practices, constructive advice, and few easy-to-follow examples that will build up your skills as you advance through the book.
