Javascript Toy by Kenwright (5 results)

Condition: New. In.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. JavaScript isn't just for making buttons flash and animating divs. It's a serious, powerful language - capable of running everything from web apps to full-blown 3D simulations. But let's be honest - it's also weird. It has quirks, pitfalls, and "features" that can turn even the simplest task into a frustrating mystery. This book doesn't hold your hand through syntax basics - you already know how to write a 'for' loop. Instead, we dive deep into the hidden mechanics, performance tricks, and debugging nightmares that separate beginners from pros. Whether you're battling async chaos, taming memory leaks, or squeezing every ounce of speed from a web app, this book will help you write JavaScript that's clean, efficient, and - most importantly - doesn't break at 2 AM when you're too tired to debug and the error message just says "undefined is not a function". If you've ever thought, "Why does this work. but only sometimes?" - you're in the right place. JavaScript's Dark Corners - Hoisting, closures, prototype chains, and all the things that make your brain hurt.Async and the Event Loop - Why JavaScript is "single-threaded" but somehow not really.Debugging Like a Pro - Tools, tricks, and sneaky console hacks to catch bugs before they catch you.Memory Management - Stop leaking memory like a rusty old pipe.Web Workers, WebGL, and WebGPU - Offload work to the GPU and background threads like a boss.TypeScript: Friend or Foe? - Does it actually help, or just add another layer of confusion?Real-World Horror Stories - Learn from the worst mistakes so you don't have to make them yourself.
