Summary

A Japanese-language book on JavaScript for moving from beginner to intermediate in frontend development, by Circle Around, Masashi Sato, and Hiroshi Ogasawara. JavaScript can run even when it is written loosely or by guesswork, yet it has its own quirks and depth, which makes it hard to move on from the beginner stage. The book is for developers who have finished one introductory book but want to write better code and to know how to write code that is less prone to bugs, and it explains the parts of JavaScript where people tend to stumble. It devotes extra space to asynchronous processing (async/await and Promises), AJAX (the Fetch API), this, scope, and primitive types, object types, and references. It also takes up closures, the move from ES5 to ES6, Node.js and npm, transpiling, the DOM, and exceptions.

Target Readers

• Working engineers who want to improve their frontend skills
• JavaScript beginners who are considering a career change or a transfer to become a frontend engineer
• Self-taught learners who aim to work as engineers and have finished the elementary study on their own, even without work experience
