Are you a C# or Java developer curious about the awesome things happening in the jаvascript world? Would you like to build super rich web apps, mobile apps, backend services or even robots? Does JS frustrate you? Then this is the book for you! Learn the basics, OOP, FP, async, ES6, TS, tooling, testing, Angular & more!

This book is a compendium that contains all the jаvascript-mancy books in one single volume. At this point in time, it includes jаvascript-mancy: Getting Started, jаvascript-mancy: OOP and drafts for the upcoming books on Functional Programming, Async, Patterns, Tooling and writing modern web apps with Angular.

Imagine... imagine you lived in a world were you could use jаvascript to change the universe around you, to tamper with the threads that compose reality as you know it and do anything that you can imagine. Well, welcome to the world of jаvascript-mancy, where wizards, also known as jаvascriptmancers, control the arcane winds of magic wielding jаvascript to and fro and command the very fabric of reality.

We, programmers, sadly do not live in such a world. But we do have a measure of magic in ourselves, we have the skills and power to create things out of nothingness. And even if we cannot throw fireballs or levitate (yet), we can definitely change/improve/enhance reality and the universe around us with our little creations. Ain't that freaking awesome?

Well, I hope this book inspires you to continue creating, and using this beautiful skill we share, this time, with jаvascript ;).

For many years jаvascript has been frowned upon and looked down on by many developers due to its quirky nature, obscure behaviors and many WTFs that populate its hairy APIs and operations.

Frown upon no more! For with modern design patterns, libraries, tools and the long awaited ECMAScript 6 (ES6, ES2015) writing jаvascript is now a pleasure.

Join me at the school of jаvascript-mancy as we travel along the modern landscape of writing jаvascript in 2015 and beyond, as we discover the organic evolution of this beautiful language and its thriving ecosystem, and delve in the latest features/spells/incantations of the jаvascript Arcana.

You my friend, can no longer ignore jаvascript. jаvascript is the most deployed language on earth, a beautiful and expressive language that supports many paradigms and which has a thriving community that continuously expands and improves its ecosystem with patterns, libraries, frameworks and tools. You don't want to miss this train.

But jаvascript, though forgiving and specially conceived to be easy to learn, can be either daunting for us that have a strongly-typed mindset and come from languages such as C# or Java or, more often, laughed at as a toy.

For you who consider it daunting and hate working with it worry not! I will show you the most common misconceptions and all the patterns you need to know to become as fluent in jаvascript as you are in C#.

For you who consider it a toy language, something associated not with real programming but with copy-paste coding or scripting to add flare to websites, I will show you all the different patterns and programming paradigms that jаvascript supports and which make it just as good and powerful as C# Software Foundation Director, DEFNA President, and REVSYS Partner.
