JavaScript by Example. Learn modern web development with real-world applications

JavaScript is the programming language that all web developers need to learn. The first item on our JavaScript to-do list is building g a To-do list app, which you'll have done by the end of the first chapter.

• You'll explore DOM manipulation with JavaScript and work with event listeners.
• You'll work with images and text to build a Meme creator.
• You will also learn about ES (ECMAScript) classes, and will be introduced to layouts using the CSS3 Flexbox.

You'll also develop a responsive Event Registration form that allows users to register for your upcoming event and use charts and graphics to display registration data. You will then build a weather application, which will show you different ways perform AJAX requests and work with dynamic, external data.

WebRTC enables real-time communication in a web browser; you'll learn how to use it when you build a real-time video-call and chat application later in the book. Towards the end of the book, you will meet React, Facebook's JavaScript library for building user interfaces.

• To make your blog more maintainable and scalable, you'll use Redux to manage data across React components.

You'll throw together a blog with React, and get a feel for why this kind of JavaScript framework is used to build large-scale applications.
