JavaScript is the most popular language for web programming, whether it is used to create interactive browser-based applications or server-side applications in Node. With new features, language improvements, paradigms, and potential use cases emerging regularly, there has never been a more exciting time to be a JavaScript developer.

In The Joy of JavaScript, author and JavaScript expert Luis Atencio teaches you key design concepts that lead to clean, lean, modular, and easy-to-maintain code. Key features include JavaScript's objects and module system, working with higher-order functions, driving application business logic with functional programming principles, dynamically hooking into data with Proxy and Reflect APIs, static type-checking with Flow, and taming complex asynchronous behavior using reactive programming.

Audience: Perfect for intermediate JavaScript developers with basic familiarity with HTTP, HTML/CSS, and Git/CLI.

About the technology: JavaScript is multi-paradigm, supporting object-oriented, functional, reactive, and event-driven styles of programming. And transpilers like Babel make it possible to compile code written in other languages into JavaScript.

Luis Atencio is a software engineer for Citrix Systems, where he develops and architects web applications leveraging Java, PHP, and JavaScript platforms. He blogs about software engineering at http://luisatencio.net, has spoken in many dev conferences, and has written articles for PHPArch magazine and DZone Refcardz. Luis is the author of Manning's Functional Programming in JavaScript and the co-author of Manning's RxJS in Action.
