The Complete Guide to Modern JavaScript

The e-Book “JavaScript from Beginner to Professional” is a comprehensive guide to mastering JavaScript, one of the most popular programming languages ​​in modern web development. This publication is ideal for both beginner developers and those who want to systematize and deepen their knowledge.

The team of authors, including experienced developers and teachers Laurens Lars Svekis, Maaike van Putten and Rob Percival, created a methodical manual that consistently takes the reader from the basics of the language to professional programming techniques.

The structure of the eBook is built on the principle of gradual complexity of the material. The first chapters are devoted to fundamental concepts: variables, data types, operators and control structures. Then more complex topics are considered, including functions, object-oriented programming, working with the DOM and event handling.

A special feature of this guide is its practical focus. Each theoretical concept is supported by numerous exercises and project tasks. Practical examples include creating games (such as Rock-Paper-Scissors and Hangman), developing interactive interface elements, and working with HTML5 Canvas.

The e-book covers all modern aspects of JavaScript, including:

• Basics of language syntax and structure
• Working with arrays and objects
• Functions and closures
• Classes and OOP
• Working with DOM and events
• Asynchronous programming (callbacks, promises, async/await)
• HTML5 API, including Canvas and Geolocation
• Working with local storage and cookies

A separate chapter is devoted to the next steps in learning JavaScript, where popular frameworks (React, Vue, Angular) and the basics of backend development using Node.js are considered.

The publication has a clear structure: each chapter contains theoretical material, practical exercises, project assignments, and self-assessment questions. This approach allows you to effectively consolidate the knowledge gained.

For readers already familiar with the basics of programming, the book offers in-depth sections on regular expressions, recursion, debugging code, and working with errors. Particular attention is paid to modern ES6+ standards and best development practices.

Is not just a textbook, but a complete guide that will help you go from the basics of programming to creating complex web applications. The book will be useful for both independent learners and students of computer specialties, as well as practicing developers who want to refresh and systematize their knowledge.
