Book Description
JavaScript can be used quite heavily in ASP.NET applications; mostly when the developer wants to increase the responsiveness of the website to improve the UX. SPAs have only become more prevalent due to more modern approaches and client side frameworks. All of this requires at least a working knowledge of JavaScript, a pretty decent understanding of MVC implementation on the client side and its interactions with your ASP.NET application on the server-side, and how to actually code the thing.
There has been a huge resource shift from server-side operations to the client as evergreen browsers mean that every user is seeing the same content every time, and this book will show you how to ride the wave of this sea-change in web development.
This book will give developers the foundation they need to start writing powerful applications in JavaScript. We'll start off with an introduction to JavaScript, and explore the basics. We'll then show you JavaScript in the context of ASP.NET MVC 6 applications, and how it can be used to optimize web applications. Gradually, we'll teach you how to develop a sample ASP.NET application using Angular 2 with TypeScript (a superset of JavaScript that compiles to plain JavaScript) and Web API. We will further get you acquainted with the various Ajax techniques to develop responsive applications.
The book will finish off with a brief tour of NodeJS and will show you various techniques to test and debug various JavaScript Libraries in Visual Studio.
