About This Book

To get the most out of modern JavaScript, you need learn the latest features of its parent specification, ECMAScript 6 (ES6). This book provides a highly practical look at ES6, without getting lost in the specification or its implementation details. Armed with practical examples, author Nicolas Bevacqua shows you new ways to deal with asynchronous flow control, declare objects or functions, and create proxies or unique sets, among many other features. The first title in Bevacqua’s Modular JavaSc

Our Review

This book delivers a practical, hands-on approach to mastering modern JavaScript by focusing directly on the most useful features of ES6 and beyond. Instead of getting bogged down in dense specification details, it provides immediately applicable code examples for asynchronous programming, new function syntax, and data structures like Proxies and Sets. You'll find clear explanations of the JavaScript features that actually matter for building real applications today, cutting through the noise of theoretical concepts.

What sets this guide apart is its modular structure and author's evident expertise in distilling complex topics into actionable knowledge. Developers who have some JavaScript experience but feel overwhelmed by the rapid evolution of the language will benefit most from its targeted approach. The book successfully bridges the gap between knowing basic JavaScript and writing clean, modern code that leverages the full power of contemporary ECMAScript standards.
