Mark Obcena, "Pro jаvascript with MooTools: Laerning Advanced jаvascript Programming"
English | 2011 | pages: 430 | ISBN: 1430230541 | PDF | 4,1 mb
Pro jаvascript with MooTools is unlike any other jаvascript book on the market today. While similar books focus on either jаvascript as a language of the browser or how to use jаvascript frameworks, Pro jаvascript with MooTools fills the gap between these topics and moves beyond-exploring the advanced features of jаvascript and how the MooTools framework uses these features to further improve the language itself.
The book itself takes a unique three-pronged approach. It first walks you through the advanced features of jаvascript and the MooTools framework, including native augmentation and type creation, a comprehensive discussion of jаvascript functions, object-oriented programming with native jаvascript and MooTools Classes, and the MooTools Class internals. You'll then learn all about jаvascript in the DOM: the Elements classes and its internals, the MooTools Event system, Selector engines and MooTools Slick, Ajax and the Request Object, and animation and the Fx classes.
The final section really sets the book apart from all others, as it discusses jаvascript outside the browsers. You'll take an in-depth look at CommonJS and MooTools, using MooTools outside the browser to build ORM, creating simple CommonJS applications via the MooTools Deck framework, and creating complex server-side applications using Raccoon.
