Become a Better Javascript Programmer! Typescript is a better Javascript, It is a statically typed, safe programming language, which uses more or less the same syntax as Javascript. Typescript programs are compiled to Javascript, and they can be run anywhere Javascript is supported. It is widely used by professional Javascript developers, for frontend development (e.g., Angular, React, and VueJS) as well as for backend development (e.g., Node.Js and Deno). This book is a "mini" language reference on the Typescript programming language. We go through all essential features of Typescript (as of versions 4.8 and 4.9), and some new ECMAScript features, in this book. Although it is written as a reference, however, you can read it more or less from beginning to end and you should be able to get the overall picture of the Typescript language if you have some prior experience with programming in Typescript or modern Javascript (ES2015 and later). This book is, however, not intended for complete beginners. The book covers * Typescript development basics. * ES module system. * Basic JS/TS types. Type annotations. * Variable declarations. Type inference. * Algebraic data types. Generics. * Objects. Classes. * Function types. Arrow functions. * How to create new types from existing types. Order your copy today!

Whether on the computer, tablet, mobile phone, in the car or in the coffee machine - computer programs determine our everyday life. Software is becoming increasingly important, hardly anything works without the mysterious power of algorithms. But how do programs work? And how do you develop them? This book teaches you the basics of programming. Using everyday examples, you will first learn the basic concepts of programming, which are similar in all programming languages. Based on these basic ideas, you will then learn two popular and very useful programming languages, Python and JavaScript, in a systematic way and with many practical exercises, which you can use for a wide range of different tasks. The book is aimed at novice programmers of all ages (from students to professionals) who have no previous programming experience.

This complete, step-by-step guide to JavaScript provides an easy-to-use tutorial. After introducing the reader to JavaScript, the book explains in-depth design and usage of JavaScript's built in functions and objects, gradually building toward more complex and sophisticated concepts. The CD contains all source code from the book, examples and more.

Programming Language Explorations helps its readers gain proficiency in programming language practice and theory by presenting both example-focused, chapter-length explorations of fourteen important programming languages and detailed discussions of the major concepts transcending multiple languages. A language-by-language approach is sandwiched between an introductory chapter that motivates and lays out the major concepts of the field and a final chapter that brings together all that was learned in the middle chapters into a coherent and organized view of the field. Each of the featured languages in the middle chapters is introduced with a common trio of example programs and followed by a tour of its basic language features and coverage of interesting aspects from its type system, functional forms, scoping rules, concurrency patterns, and metaprogramming facilities. These chapters are followed by a brief tour of over 40 additional languages designed to enhance the reader’s appreciation of the breadth of the programming language landscape and to motivate further study. Targeted to both professionals and advanced college undergraduates looking to expand the range of languages and programming patterns they can apply in their work and studies, the book pays attention to modern programming practices, keeps a focus on cutting-edge programming patterns, and provides many runnable examples, all of which are available in the book’s companion GitHub repository. The combination of conceptual overviews with exploratory example-focused coverage of individual programming languages provides its readers with the foundation for more effectively authoring programs, prompting AI programming assistants, and, perhaps most importantly, learning—and creating—new languages.

This book is both conceptual and made for beginners. It teaches JavaScript, and the fundamental programming concepts to learn any computer language. Plus, it uses game creation as a teaching tool.

HTML5 opens up a plethora of new avenues for application and game development on the web. Games can now be created and interacted with directly within HTML, with no need for users to download extra plugins, or for developers to learn new languages. Important new features such as the Canvas tag enable drawing directly onto the web page. The Audio tag allows sounds to be triggered and played from within your HTML code, the WebSockets API facilitates real-time communication, and the local storage API enables data such as high scores or game preferences to be kept on a user's computer for retrieval next time they play. All of these features and many more are covered within The Essential Guide to HTML5. The book begins at an introductory level, teaching the essentials of HTML5 and JavaScript through game development. Each chapter features a familiar game type as its core example, such as hangman, rock-paper-scissors, or dice games, and uses these simple constructs to build a solid skillset of the key HTML5 concepts and features. By working through these hands on examples, you will gain a deep, practical knowledge of HTML5 that will enable you to build your own, more advanced games and applications. Concepts are introduced and motivated with easy-to-grasp, appealing examples Code is explained in detail after general explanations Reader is guided into how to make the examples 'their own'
