Description

With Async JavaScript, you’ll develop a deeper understanding of the JavaScript language. You’ll start with a ground-up primer on the JavaScript event model – key to avoiding many of the most common mistakes JavaScripters make. From there you’ll see tools and design patterns for turning that conceptual understanding into practical code. The concepts in the book are illustrated with runnable examples drawn from both the browser and the Node.js server framework, incorporating complementary libraries including jQuery, Backbone.js, and Async.js.
