Overview

"Essential reading for developers of any discipline ... with powerful techniques to improve your JavaScript."
Becky Huett, Big Shovel Labs

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 Video Edition book 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.

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
You don't have to be a ninja to read this book—just be willing to become one. Are you ready?
