Manipulating HTML & CSS in browsers remains JavaScript's most important task.
This book explains how to make web pages more dynamic, interactive, and responsive. Allergic to web apps that reload with every click? You will learn how to create online applications that are easy and comfortable to use. You will also learn how to program interfaces for managing products, create dynamic tooltips, develop your own image galleries and much more.
Don't let ready-made web building kits or frameworks limit you. Use JavaScript to let your creativity flourish and turn your ideas into reality.
Just a few years ago, JQuery was undisputed leader in the field of DOM manipulation. In the meantime, however, JavaScript has caught up. Today, you can write highly concise and comprehensible code with pure JavaScript. In the past, programmers always had to take different browsers into account. Today’s browsers speak a common modern JavaScript and offer standardized DOM.
An essential foundation
If you are looking to create large single-page applications using frameworks such as Angular or React, it is essential that you understand the underlying browsers’ API. It will allow you to devise alternative solutions for when the frameworks reach their limit.
Modern syntax
This book uses the current ES6+/ES2018 syntax presented in Vol 1, enabling you to write very short, concise, and above all, well-readable code.This latest, completely revised edition takes the latest JavaScript and browser developments into account. Here is an excerpt of the content:
Selecting HTML elements with querySelectorAll
