Product Description:
As a web developer, you’ll already know that JavaScript is a powerful language, allowing you to add an impressive array of dynamic functionality to otherwise static web sites. But there is more power waiting to be unlocked—JavaScript is capable of full object–oriented capabilities, and by applying OOP principles, best practices, and design patterns to your code, you can make it more powerful, more efficient, and easier to work with alone or as part of a team.
With Pro JavaScript Design Patterns, you’ll start with the basics of object–oriented programming in JavaScript applicable to design patterns, including making JavaScript more expressive, inheritance, encapsulation, information hiding, and more. With that covered, you can kick–start your JavaScript development in the second part of the book, where you’ll find detail on how to implement and take advantage of several design patterns in JavaScript, including composites, decorators, façades, adapters, and many more.
Each chapter is packed with real–world examples of how the design patterns are best used and expert advice on writing better code, as well as what to watch out for. Along the way you’ll discover how to create your own libraries and APIs for even more efficient coding.
- Master the basics of object–oriented programming in JavaScript, as they apply to design patterns.
- Apply design patterns to your kick–start your JavaScript development.
- Work through several real–world examples.
What you’ll learn- How to apply object–oriented programming techniques in JavaScript
- How to take advantage of inheritance, interfaces, and encapsulation and information hiding to kick–start your JavaScript development
- How to implement several design patterns in your JavaScript projects, including factory, façade, bridge, composite, adapter, decorator, flyweight, proxy, command, observer, and chain of responsibility
- How to make your code easier to manage in a team environment, as well as on your own
- How to create your own libraries and APIs

Rating:  - great next step book
it's a great book to learn more.....it's missing practical examples for real life.....lot of theory. If you don't know Object Oriented Principles, it will be (very) hard(er). (ActionScript 3.0 book can help, or Java book ).
It's not begginer book........It's great for large projects, applications.
This is great for frontend engineers and software engineers.
I would recommend JavaScripts Good Parts in addition to this, it could help with coding standards....
Unfortunatelly, ... Read More
Rating: - Required reading to advance the skill level of experienced programmers
To begin with this is not a book for the person new to JavaScript.The authors assume some knowledge of JavaScript and object oriented programming right from the start.This is more of an advanced text for those who already can get things done in JavaScript and want to advance their knowledge, write code that is easier to maintain, and exploit the flexibility of JavaScript to its fullest extent.
For each pattern discussed they provide background information on the problem to be resolved, example coding, ... Read More
Rating: - Valuable if you do non-trivial work with JavaScript
Back in the early days Design Patterns examples mostly used C++ as language. This day Java is the typical choice, with an increasing amount of C#. Usually if you are familiar with any of those languages, porting the sample code to a different platform isn't that hard. Unfortunately JavaScript is quite a different beast, first of all is not class based, it's loosely typed, it doesn't support interfaces etc. JavaScript has a whole bunch of peculiarities that make it really hard to translate those Java/C# samples. That's ... Read More
