\"The Single Page App Jumpstart\"...

…explains building a Single Page App by example, starting fresh with vanilla JavaScript and then, step by step adding libraries and abstractions to make the code simpler and more modular.

…uses a common example, the TodoMVC project, to make the code in the book comparable to other solutions, libraries and frameworks.

…aims to be the best and easiest to understand introduction to the subject.

The best way to learn a new subject is to start off from scratch, putting all abstractions and little helpers aside and get down to the nitty gritty. If you have come to terms with the basics, it’s the right time to find out how to make things easier, faster and more manageable.

This is exactly the approach this book follows. At the end, you will have learned a great deal about thefundamentals of javascript applications, but you will also understand the meaning of yak shaving and why using libraries and frameworks can actually save you a lot of time.

Pricing

This book is not finished: I'm trying to add a new chapter at least every other week. With every new chapter, I'll raise both the minimum price and the recommended price, as to thank early supporters for their contribution. The final price is not set yet, so if you want to make sure you'll get the book at a pretty cool discount, buy it now!

Newsletter/Blog

I have a newsletter and a blog you might want to subscribe to. The newsletter will be published at most once a month and will contain the latest updates regarding the book and some cool tips and tricks, while the blog is updated more frequently and contains all kinds of news from JavaScript land.
