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.

Web Socket API

Typically, when a browser connects to a server during normal browsing, it does so over HTTP or HTTPS. For the purposes of this topic, all we really need to know about HTTP is that each time a browser wants to send or receive a piece of information from the server, it has to open a new connection to that server, make its request, and then close the connection. This is fine for most situations, but it's a one-way street; the server cannot open a connection with the browser. This means that if the server receives some new data, it has no way of alerting the browser, and instead has to rely on the browser querying the server at some point and asking for the data. A lot of the time, this is ok because we developers know when we can expect new data to be available, or we know when in our application we want to request any new data.

Relying on a developers' savviness falls short, of course, in situations where we don't have full control over when or how often...
