Summary : Performance is a hugely important area of web development. If your site runs slowly, users are going to leave, and the problem only grows as your site gets more popular. Pro JavaScript Performance gives you the tools you need to keep your sites smooth and responsive no matter how many users you have. Best practices are changing or becoming redefined continually because of changes and optimizations at the interpreter level, and differences in system configuration, and network speeds. This is exacerbated by the quickened release schedule that most browsers have adopted. Just as important as following best practices is the ability to measure your own performance, so that you can adjust as times change, and so that you can note the subtle nuances in your own code and define your own best practices by your own observations. This book gives you the tools to observe and track the performance of your web applications over time from multiple perspectives, so that you are always aware of, and can fix, all aspects of your performance.

Summary : JavaScript, die "am häufigsten mißverstandene Programmiersprache der Welt" (Douglas Crockford), ist trotz ihrer syntaktischen Mehrdeutigkeiten zur Leitsprache des Internets geworden. Auf nahezu jedem PC dieser Welt läuft mindestens ein Interpreter, sie ist auf dem Smartphone ebenso zuhause wie in der Server-Welt. Wo das Web dynamisch ist, spielt JavaScript fast immer die entscheidende Rolle. Doch populär wurde JavaScript erst durch die mit dem AJAX-Hype einsetzende Fokussierung auf Nutzerfreundlichkeit und Interaktion. Web 2.0 ohne JavaScript? Undenkbar! Die Explosion an Javascript-Bibliotheken in den letzten Jahren erzeugte eine breite Akzeptanz selbst unter den Entwicklern, die der Sprache zuvor wenig mehr als einfache Formvalidierungen zugetraut hatten. Doch die "Bequemlichkeitsbibliotheken" haben auch verhindert, dass sich viele Entwickler eingehender mit der Sprache beschäftigten. JavaScript ist eine interpretierte Sprache - schlechter Code erzeugt also fast zwangsläufig eine langsame Anwendung. Und damit unzufriedene Nutzer. Wenn Sie jemals jQuery's "each"-Funktion verwendet haben, um über ein kurzes Array zu iterieren, dann ist "JavaScript Performance" das richtige Buch für Sie! Angefangen von grundlegenden Betrachtungen der Sprache - Variablen, Operatoren, Typen, Schleifen - bietet es eine Fülle von Lösungen für gängige Problemstellungen wie der schnellen Verkettung von Strings oder effektiver DOM-Manipulation. Darauf aufbauend liefert "JavaScript Performance" zahlreiche Hinweise zum Umgang mit bekannten Bibliotheken wie jQuery, Prototype oder Node.JS sowie Neuerungen in der HTML5-Spezifikation. Ergänzende Links zu Performance-Tests belegen für die meisten Beispiele eindrücklich, wie mit einfachen Veränderungen imposante Verbesserungen erzielt werden können.

Summary : No matter how much experience you have with JavaScript, odds are you don’t fully understand the language. As part of the "You Don’t Know JS" series, this concise yet in-depth guide focuses on new asynchronous features and performance techniques—including Promises, generators, and Web Workers—that let you create sophisticated single-page web applications and escape callback hell in the process. Like other books in this series, You Don’t Know JS: Async & Performance dives into trickier parts of the language that many JavaScript programmers simply avoid. Armed with this knowledge, you can become a true JavaScript master. With this book you will: Explore old and new JavaScript methods for handling asynchronous programming Understand how callbacks let third parties control your program’s execution Address the "inversion of control" issue with JavaScript Promises Use generators to express async flow in a sequential, synchronous-looking fashion Tackle program-level performance with Web Workers, SIMD, and asm.js Learn valuable resources and techniques for benchmarking and tuning your expressions and statements
