The evolution of JavaScript is gradual and steady. Over the course of the past decade, JavaScript has evolved from a simple plaything of language to a much-admired programming language that has been used by companies and developers all over the world to construct incredible applications. The modern JavaScript programming language has always been reliable, robust, and incredibly powerful. Many of the things I've discussed in this book will reveal what makes modern JavaScript applications so different from the past. Many of the concepts that appear in this chapter are far from novel, yet the recognition of thousands of smart programmers has led to their application being sublimated and ultimately shaping today's pattern. Even so, let's simply focus on modern JavaScript programming.
The first chapter: Modern Javscript programming
This book attempts to fully include all modern, professional JavaScript programming techniques, with a view to their use by everyone from independent developers to large companies, making their code more usable, readable, and interactive.
In this chapter we make a short overview of each of the points of knowledge that will appear in this book. This includes the basics of professional JavaScript programming: Writing face to side code, testing code, and encapsulation for distribution. You then see the main aspects of unobtrusive Dom scripting, including a brief overview of the Document Object model, events, JavaScript and CSS interactions. Finally you see the premise behind Ajax and the support of JavaScript in modern browsers. These topics add up enough to take you into the ranks of professional JavaScript programmers.
