As the needs and demands of developers have evolved over
the years, so has JavaScript, which boasts a track record
of delivering high-performing and exceptionally impressive
web-user experiences. This flexible, dynamic programming
language is increasingly used for serious development on the
web, and several of its tools and projects are being shared in
the form of libraries and frameworks. Packed with coverage
of many of the most popular JavaScript frameworks, this
authoritative guide examines how these frameworks can
present unique and varying approaches to a variety of
problems in web development—each of which has its own
pros and cons.
This unparalleled team of authors has assembled some of
the most active and popular JavaScript frameworks available
and they walk you through common web development tasks
addressed by each framework, while also examining how the
framework approaches a particular set of tasks. In addition,
practical examples and clear explanations demonstrate the
many aspects of contemporary web development and exactly
what the selection of JavaScript frameworks has to offer so
that you can get up and running quickly.
