Book Description
Build Better Applications with Coding and Design Patterns
Product Description
What's the best approach for developing an application with JavaScript? This book helps you answer that question with numerous JavaScript coding patterns and best practices. 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 writing a client-side, server-side, or desktop application with JavaScript.
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

Great modern JS overview,
By
This review is from: JavaScript Patterns (Paperback)
With so much online content offering JavaScript tutorials you may ask why you'd want a book like this? The simple reason is that this book offers a fantastic, succinct and complete overview of *MODERN* JavaScript design patterns, methodologies and best practices. The book itself is only 230 odd pages long, but in this covers pretty much everything you need to know about writing modern JS for both in and out of the browser. Best practices are discussed and clearly demonstrated, along with 'antipatterns' or common mistakes you should avoid.The book doesn't cover the basics (this isn't a book for the complete beginner, but aimed at someone with previous JS experience), but its eight chapters excel at demonstrating all aspects of modern day javascript. The chapter on patterns discusses the namespaces pattern, module pattern (increasingly common in todays web apps), sandbox pattern, the chaining pattern and much more. It does this in the clearest and most concise method I have seen. I read this book in a day and will no doubt keep going back to it as a reference. a fantastic resource that i'd highly recommend.

Start using JavaScript!,

This review is from: JavaScript Patterns (Paperback)
For once there's a JavaScript book that demonstrates good coding practice using the world's most misunderstood language. Okay, this book isn't for those who are beginning JavaScript but once you know the basics this book will demonstrate how to write efficient, eloquent and effective code. The best thing about this book is that Stefanov devotes a chapter the use of Design Patterns with JavaScript, something which most developers dismiss with this language because JavaScript is "classless". Stefanov also gives good advice on performance related issues, what features of JavaScript you should never use (eval for instance) as well as code structure. I found this book to be one of the best I've read on JavaScript, just make sure you understand the fundamentals of the language and have some practical experience before pulling back the cover.

Clear and Useful,
By
This review is from: JavaScript Patterns (Paperback)
I purchased this book after watching plenty of Doug Crockford videos on Advanced Javascript Programming. I also purchased Javascript: The Good Parts (at the same time).Of the two books I found this the more useful, they contains a lot of similar information but this book seems to be more appropriate for the hands on programmer. Easy to read and relevant.
