Book Description

No matter how much experience you have with JavaScript, odds are you don't fully understand the language. As part of the "You Don't Know JS" series, this concise yet in-depth guide focuses on new asynchronous features and performance techniques - including Promises, generators, and Web Workers - that let you create sophisticated single-page web applications and escape callback hell in the process.

Like other books in this series, You Don't Know JS: Async & Performance dives into trickier parts of the language that many JavaScript programmers simply avoid. Armed with this knowledge, you can become a true JavaScript master.

• Explore old and new JavaScript methods for handling asynchronous programming
• Understand how callbacks let third parties control your program's execution
• Address the "inversion of control" issue with JavaScript Promises
• Use generators to express async flow in a sequential, synchronous-looking fashion
• Tackle program-level performance with Web Workers, SIMD, and asm.js
• Learn valuable resources and techniques for benchmarking and tuning your expressions and statements

• Kyle Simpson is an Open Web Evangelist from Austin, TX. He's passionate about JavaScript, HTML5, real-time/peer-to-peer communications, and web performance. Otherwise, he's probably bored by it. Kyle is an author, workshop trainer, tech speaker, and avid OSS community member.

• JavaScript for Impatient Programmers (Axel Rauschmayer)

  This book makes JavaScript less challenging to learn for newcomers, by offering a modern view that is as consistent as possible. No prior knowledge of JavaScript is required, but you should know how to program.

• Eloquent JavaScript, 3rd Edition: A Modern Introduction

  Eloquent JavaScript dives deep into the JavaScript language to show you how to write beautiful, effective code. It immerses you in example code from the start, while exercises and full-chapter projects give you hands-on experience.

• Deep JavaScript: Theory and Techniques (Axel Rauschmayer)

  In depth knowledge of JavaScript makes it easier to learn a variety of other frameworks, including Node.js, React, Angular, and related tools and libraries. This book is designed to help you cover the core JavaScript concepts you need to build modern applications.

• You Don't Know JS Yet: Scope and Closures, 2nd Edition

  This concise yet in-depth guide takes you inside scope and closures, two core concepts you need to know to become a more efficient and effective JavaScript programmer. You'll learn how and why they work, and how to use it, etc.

• You Don't Know JS Yet: Get Started - 2nd Ed. (Kyle Simpson)

  By learning the basic building blocks of programming, as well as JavaScript's core mechanisms, you'll be prepared to dive into the other, more in-depth books in the series and be well on your way toward true JavaScript.

• You Don't Know JS Yet: Objects and Classes

  This concise, in-depth guide takes you inside JavaScript's this structure and object prototypes. You'll learn how they work and why they're integral to behavior delegation a design pattern in which objects are linked, rather than cloned.

• You Don't Know JS Yet: Types and Grammar

  This compact guide explores JavaScript types in greater depth than previous treatments by looking at type coercion problems, demonstrating why types work, and showing you how to take advantage of these features.

• You Don't Know JS Yet: ES.Next & Beyond

  It focuses on new features available in ECMAScript 6 (ES6), the latest version of the standard upon which JavaScript is built. It dives into trickier parts of the language that many JavaScript programmers either avoid or know nothing about.
