Preface
Even when literature about JavaScriptObjects is abundant and already accessible to the reader, this book still fillsa need. JavaScript Objects Functions and Arrays Explained challenges the void between books for teaching syntax and thosecovering specific implementations of the language. This comprehensive approach revisitsthe foundation of JavaScript Objects without asking anyone to memorizeconstructs that are seldom used in the real world of JavaScript implementation.It dissects objects from the simplest form to a more complex paradigm. It usessimple illustrations allowing the reader to stay focused on the subject matter.Although most book sales happen in the US, this book has also been written in international English and any idiomatic expressionhas a link to a suitable explanation.
JavaScript Objects Functions and Arrays Explained is aboutconcepts; it is not about implementation of exotic scripts that may losestudents before they have a chance to grasp the idea behind the topic. BecauseJavaScript is such a complex language, the author has chosen to simplify, butnot to diminish, certain areas that may be new to a great number of readers.One example is closures . The authorapproaches closures in a minimalistic yet effective way, with illustrations andsimplified scripts in order to keep the concept from being lost by the power ofthe code itself.
The authors intent is to approachJavaScript in a manner he hoped to find when first initiated his studies of thelanguage. This book is not for the very beginner because it does notcover basic rules of syntax. However, if you have been exposed to the basicssomewhere else before, you will not have any problem grasping the written material.On the other hand if you come from a different language or need a refresher, thereis always an explanation of the scripts presented, line by line.
For the early beginner or if you need areview, please refer to the following eBook before attempting to read this one:
JavaScriptin Plain Language A Self-Study Method, JSON and AngularJS Prep.
Each topic has been kept short onpurpose; yet, packed with information normally missed in introductory books oreven in many of the more advanced writings. The author assumes that anyoneadventuring into JavaScript has the capacity to learn, if given a change to doso.
The book has not just been written for newerdevelopers. It is also intended for those already involved with JavaScript butlacking time to search for detailed explanations of why JavaScript works theway it does. This book is the result of manyhundreds of hours of research and lab testing by the author, and intends to giveevery reader something worth taking .
JavaScript Objects Functions and Arrays Explained willgive you the foundation needed to move into more complex books: It will open manydoors of understanding without insulting anyones intelligence.
Welcome to the second edition of JavaScript Objects Functions and Arrays Explained .
Dear reader,
Thank you for choosing to read JavaScriptObjects Functions and Arrays Explained. With so many great books out there,it is a real honor and a humble experience to feel welcome into your innerworld and I will work hard in this writing to make it worth your while.
This book is a hands-on approach.Theory and lab will come together, to bring concepts to a full understanding. Youmay decide to do a quick reading of the material or just use it as a reference.However, the book can also be executed .I suggest taking the last approach first and later return to read at random.
Aside from one-line scripts, all other samplecode will have a link to a raw file, giving you a choice of copy andpaste into the console, or of coding it from scratch.
The book explains the newly availableJavaScript native objects, as well as how to create your own. I have spent manydays meditating on each topic, paragraph by paragraph, to find the best way toapproach each one of them in an effort to convey that information moreeffectively. As much as I enjoy writing, my love for teaching is deeper.
Native objects are the most used objectsin JavaScript because they are faster and well recognized by modern browsers.Yet, several authors choose to teach object construction right from thebeginning, confusing readers with terminology and concepts the student maynever see again in real life. I guess this approach mimics the way otherlanguages are taught. But JavaScript is not any other language. JavaScript is acombination of ECMAScript, plus the host environment. Its mutant characteristicmakes it behaves differently each time, depending where and how it is going tobe used.
In this book, concepts will come in layersand nothing will need to be memorized. When I first started my research for thebook, I was caught in awe by the complexity of JavaScript Objects. Complexityin the sense that JavaScript is not like any other language; it resides apartin its own world. The legend goes that Brendan Eich, the inventorof JavaScript, wanted to do a Scheme-like (Lisp dialect) language forNetscape, but a reality check intervened, forcing him to compromise with a C/Javasyntax, which was familiar to a plethora of programmers already on the field. In the ECMAScript 5 official publication, one can read the following: Someof the facilities of ECMAScript are similar to those used in other programminglanguages; in particular Java, Self, and Scheme
Today, many developers hate the languagefor what it is not; but once they get to know it, they love the language forwhat it is. I certainly love the language as it positively surprises me almost everyday!
Thank you for this opportunity,
Tony de Araujo
