JavaScript and Node.js for Web Developers

The book discusses the JavaScript programming language, development in it as a general-purpose programming language, running in the Node.js environment, as well as scripts for web pages. It provides the basics of JavaScript: data types, operators, working with numbers, strings, dates and times, arrays, functions, classes (both old and new syntax), iterators, generators, and the Promise class. It explains how to work with the debugger integrated into the Visual Studio Code editor. It covers modules, tools for working with the file system, and programming web servers. It describes the Document Object Model. It examines tools for working with web page elements, the page itself, and the browser, as well as the AJAX technology (including Fetch API), and also ready-made software packages for web site development, particularly Webpack.
