Overview of this book

If you're looking for a programming language to develop flexible and efficient apps, JavaScript is a great choice. However, while offering real benefits, the complexity of the entire JavaScript ecosystem can be overwhelming. This Workshop is a smarter way to learn JavaScript. It is specifically designed to cut through the noise and help build your JavaScript skills from scratch, while sparking your interest with engaging activities and clear explanations. Starting with explanations of JavaScript's fundamental programming concepts, this book will introduce the key tools, libraries and frameworks that programmers use in everyday development. You will then move on and see how to handle data, control the flow of information in an application, and create custom events. You'll explore the differences between client-side and server-side JavaScript, and expand your knowledge further by studying the different JavaScript development paradigms, including object-oriented and functional programming. By the end of this JavaScript book, you'll have the confidence and skills to tackle real-world JavaScript development problems that reflect the emerging requirements of the modern web.

The JavaScript Event Life Cycle

Regardless of which node has dispatched the event, all event notifications start at the document node. They then travel in capture mode through the tree branches toward the node that dispatched it (the target node). Once all the appropriate capture handlers along that path have been invoked, the event then travels back to the document node, invoking all the appropriate bubbling handlers.

When traveling down the tree, the event is said to be in its capture phase and is said to be in its bubbling phase when returning to the document node. It is in its target phase when the target nodes handlers are invoked, regardless of whether it is its capturing handler or bubbling handler.

At any point in an event's round-trip travels, it may be halted by a handler, preventing all further event handlers from being invoked.

Halting Event Propagation

Sometimes, when handling events, you may need to stop an event in its tracks. Knowing an event may be...
