js for building next-gen web appsBook DescriptionHigh-performance web development is all about cutting through the complexities in different layers of a web app and building services and APIs that improve the speed and performance of your apps on the browser. With emerging web technologies, building scalable websites and sustainable web apps is smoother than ever. This book starts by taking you through the web frontend, popular web development practices, and the latest version of ES and JavaScript. You'll work with Node.js and learn how to build web apps without a framework. The book consists of three hands-on examples that help you understand JavaScript applications at both the server-side and the client-side using Node.js and Svelte.js. Each chapter covers modern techniques such as DOM manipulation and V8 engine optimization to strengthen your understanding of the web. Finally, you'll delve into advanced topics such as CI/CD and how you can harness their capabilities to speed up your web development dramatically. By the end of this web development book, you'll have understood how the JavaScript landscape has evolved, not just for the frontend but also for the backend, and be ready to use new tools and techniques to solve common web problems. What you will learnExplore Vanilla JavaScript for optimizing the DOM, classes, and modules, and querying with jQuery Understand immutable and mutable code and develop faster web apps Delve into Svelte.js and use it to build a complete real-time Todo app Build apps to work offline by caching calls using service workers Write C++ native code and call the WebAssembly module with JavaScript to run it on a browser Implement CircleCI for continuous integration in deploying your web appsWho this book is forThis JavaScript book is for web developers, C/C++ programmers, and anyone who wants to build robust web applications using advanced web technologies. This book assumes a good grasp of Vanilla JavaScript and an understanding of web development tools, such as Chrome Developer tools or Mozilla's developer tools.

Build your first web project using the Svelte framework and deploy it in the cloud with automated testing and CI/CD. Key Features. A practical guide to building production-ready static web apps with Svelte 3Build faster and leaner frontend and static web apps using the JAMstackDeploy your Svelte 3 app to production using cloud services and DevOps principles such as automated testing and CI/CD. Description. Svelte is a modern JavaScript framework used to build static web apps that are fast and lean, as well as being fun for developers to use.

This book is a concise and practical introduction for those who are new to the Svelte framework which will have you up to speed with building apps quickly, and teach you how to use Svelte 3 to build apps that offer a great app user experience (UX). The book starts with an introduction to Svelte 3, before showing you how to set up your first complete application with the framework. Filled with code samples, each chapter will show you how to write components using the Svelte template syntax and the application programming interfaces (APIs) of the Svelte framework. As you advance, you'll go from scaffolding your project and tool setup all the way through to production with DevOps principles such as automated testing, continuous integration, and continuous delivery (CI/CD). Finally, you'll deploy your application in the cloud with object storage services and a content delivery network (CDN) for best-in-class performance for your users. By the end of this book, you'll have learned how to build and deploy apps using Svelte 3 to solve real-world problems and deliver impressive results. What you will learn. Understand why Svelte 3 is the go-to framework for building static web apps that offer great UXExplore the tool setup that makes it easier to build and debug Svelte appsScaffold your web project and build apps using the Svelte frameworkCreate Svelte components using the Svelte template syntax and its APIsCombine Svelte components to build apps that solve complex real-world problemsUse Svelte's built-in animations and transitions for creating componentsImplement routing for client-side single-page applications (SPAs)Perform automated testing and deploy your Svelte apps, using CI/CD when applicable. Who is this book for. The book is for frontend or full-stack developers looking to build modern web apps with Svelte. Web developers with experience in leading frontend JavaScript frameworks who wish to learn Svelte will find this book useful. The book assumes a solid understanding of JavaScript and core HTML5 technologies. Basic understanding of modern frontend frameworks will be beneficial, but not necessary.

Svelte and Sapper in Action teaches you to design and build fast, elegant web applications. You’ll start immediately by creating an engaging Travel Packing app as you learn to create Svelte components and develop great UX. You’ll master Svelte’s unique state management model, use Sapper for simplified page routing, and take on modern best practices like code splitting, offline support, and server-rendered views. Summary. Imagine web apps with fast browser load times that also offer amazing developer productivity and require less code to create. That’s what Svelte and Sapper deliver!

Svelte pushes a lot of the work a frontend framework would handle to the compile step, so your app components come out as tight, well-organized JavaScript modules. Sapper is a lightweight web framework that minimizes application size through server-rendering front pages and only loading the JavaScript you need. The end result is more efficient apps with great UX and simplified state management. Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications. About the technology. Many web frameworks load hundreds of “just-in-case” code lines that clutter and slow your apps. Svelte, an innovative, developer-friendly tool, instead compiles applications to very small bundles for lightning-fast load times that do more with less code. Pairing Svelte with the Sapper framework adds features for flexible and simple page routing, server-side rendering, static site development, and more. About the book.
