Book Description

javascript is the most widely used programming language in the world. It has numerous libraries and modules and a dizzying array of need-to-know topics. Picking a starting point can be difficult. Enter Universal javascript in Quick Steps. This concise, practical guide will get you up to speed in next to no time.

Beginning with the basics of variables and objects in javascript, this no-nonsense guide moves quickly on to building components on the client side with Vue.js, and you'll build a simple list management application. Next comes the server side and Node.js; we'll examine the MVC model and introduce the Express module. Once you've got to grips with the server side and the client side, the only thing that remains is the database, so we'll introduce you to MongoDB and the mongoose module. In the final chapter of this fast-paced guide, you'll integrate all these pieces to integrate a Vue.js application into a Node.js server, using Express to structure the server code and MongoDB to store the information.

By the end of the book, you will have the skills and confidence to successfully implement javascript concepts in your own projects and begin your career as a javascript developer.
