Especially useful for frontend developers, this revision includes specific chapters on React and VueJS, as well as an updated one on Angular. To help you get the most of your new skills, each chapter also has a further reading section.
This book will serve as an introduction to both new and well established libraries and frameworks, such as Angular, VueJS, React, Grunt, Yeoman, RequireJS, Browserify, Knockout, Kraken, Async.js, Underscore, and Lodash. It also covers utilities that have gained popular traction and support from seasoned developers and tools applicable to the entire development stack, both client- and server-side.
