8+ Hours of Video Instruction It can be difficult for developers familiar with Java and other languages to make the transition to modern JavaScript. If you simply want to be productive with JavaScript as it exists today, then you don’t want to relive history with books or courses that teach older JavaScript versions, or that assume familiarity with those older versions and focus on recently introduced features. This course assumes that you are a competent programmer who understands branches and loops, functions, data structures, and the basics of object-oriented programming. You will get up to speed with modern JavaScript in the shortest possible time. Description Modern JavaScript for the Impatient LiveLessons focuses on how to be productive with JavaScript as it exists today. After reviewing the fundamentals of values, variables, and control flow, the video thoroughly covers functions, objects, and classes. The standard library and the most commonly used tools are also covered, as well as key topics related to asynchronous programming, internationalization, and modules. Related Content This training pairs with Cay Horstmann’s book Modern JavaScript for the Impatient (9780136502142) About the Instructor Cay S. Horstmann is a professor of computer science at San Jose State University and a Java Champion. He is also the author of Core Java, Volume II‚ÄîFundamentals, Eleventh Edition (2019); Core Java, Volume I‚ÄîFundamentals, Eleventh Edition (2018); Core Java SE 9 for the Impatient, Second Edition (2018); Java SE 8 for the Really Impatient (2014); and Scala for the Impatie nt (2012). He has written more than a dozen other books for professional programmers and computer science students. What You Will Learn After starting with the basics—JavaScript values, variables, and types, and a quick overview of expressions and the various type of flow control statements—Horstmann shows viewers how to implement functions that consume and produce other functions and how to use closures to implement a form of classes before moving on to more advanced topics including: Object-oriented programming with modern JavaScript (classes and inheritance and how these are implemented with prototypes) The standard library (numbers and dates, strings and regular expressions, as well as arrays and collections.) Metaprogramming, iterators, and generators (a powerful mechanism to bridge between linear and event-driven control flow) How to use proxies to inter...
