Lynda - The Good Parts of JavaScript and the Web

This course helps identify the value of using JavaScript for web-based programming. First, learn the history of JavaScript, the details of the language, and get an overview of how browsers and servers work. Next, because this course gives special attention to functions—which is where the power of the language is hidden—dive into best practices, working with closures, inheritance, and patterns. Discover how JavaScript and HTML interact by exploring script tags, tree structures, node retrieval, event handling, and DOM performance. Some new features related to ES5 and ES6 are covered. Then, find out how you can follow security principles to protect against attacks. Finally, learn about asynchronous functions, JSON, and how to capitalize on the best parts of JavaScript.
