Web Developer's Reference Guide

By: Joshua Johanan, Talha Khan, Ricardo Zea

Overview of this book

This comprehensive reference guide takes you through each topic in web development and highlights the most popular and important elements of each area. Starting with HTML, you will learn key elements and attributes and how they relate to each other. Next, you will explore CSS pseudo-classes and pseudo-elements, followed by CSS properties and functions. This will introduce you to many powerful and new selectors. You will then move on to JavaScript. This section will not just introduce functions, but will provide you with an entire reference for the language and paradigms. You will discover more about three of the most popular frameworks today—Bootstrap, which builds on CSS, jQuery which builds on JavaScript, and AngularJS, which also builds on JavaScript. Finally, you will take a walk-through Node.js, which is a server-side framework that allows you to write programs in JavaScript.

In JavaScript, try/catch statements are use to handle exceptions present in the try code blocks.

The try clause

In the try block, the statements to be evaluated are executed.

Tip

If you want to deliberately throw an exception, we would use the throw statement. This will abort the execution of the remaining statements, and the control will move to the catch block.

The catch clause

After checking and encountering an error in the statements in the try block, the exception block is called. If the exception encountered is the same as the exception handled in the catch block, then the control immediately shifts to the catch block, and the statements within the catch block are executed.

The statements presented after the erroneous statement will not be executed, unless there is a return statement in the finally block.

Tip

A good practice is to use a conditional catch clause first if we anticipate that any exception will occur. An unconditional catch clause is placed last to handle...
