Originally titled JavaScript Application Design: A Build First Approach, this book is a practical tutorial for working developers. The author's core argument is "build first": the fate of most applications is sealed before the first line of code is written, and without good design and an effective development process as a foundation, later building, scaling and improvement are impossible. The book is therefore divided into two parts. Part One covers the build process: how to write build tasks for a project and establish a repeatable workflow, how to manage environment configuration and the development process, and how to release, deploy and monitor a live application so that every code change and every commit automatically runs the corresponding tasks and tests. Part Two covers controlling system complexity: understanding modularity and dependency management, mastering asynchronous flow control in JavaScript, organizing code with the model-view-controller (MVC) pattern, writing tests for components, and designing APIs and a layered service architecture according to REST principles. Appendices add hands-on material on Node.js modules, getting started with Grunt, choosing a build tool and code quality guidelines. The book addresses real engineering problems and suits web developers who want to upgrade from script-style development to maintainable engineering practice.
