You'll begin by learning how to establish build processes that are appropriate for JavaScript-driven development. Then, you'll walk through best practices for productive day-to-day development, like running tasks when your code changes, deploying applications with a single command, and monitoring the state of your application once it's in production.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePurchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Book\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe fate of most applications is often sealed before a single line of code has been written. How is that possible? Simply, bad design assures bad results. Good design and effective processes are the foundation on which maintainable applications are built, scaled, and improved. For JavaScript developers, this means discovering the tooling, modern libraries, and architectural patterns that enable those improvements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJavaScript Application Design: A Build First Approach introduces techniques to improve software quality and development workflow. You'll begin by learning how to establish processes designed to optimize the quality of your work. You'll execute tasks whenever your code changes, run tests on every commit, and deploy in an automated fashion. Then you'll focus on designing modular components and composing them together to build robust applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book assumes readers understand the basics of JavaScript.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat's Inside\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAutomated development, testing, and deployment processes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJavaScript fundamentals and modularity best practices\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModular, maintainable, and well-tested applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaster asynchronous flows, embrace MVC, and design a REST API\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNicolas Bevacqua\u003c\/b\u003e is a freelance developer with a focus on modular JavaScript, build processes, and sharp design.
