Overview of this book

JavaScript is an object-oriented programming language that is used for website development. Web pages developed today currently follow a paradigm that has three clearly distinguishable parts: content (HTML), presentation (CSS), and behavior (JavaScript). JavaScript is one important pillar in this paradigm, and is responsible for the running of the web pages. This book will take your JavaScript skills to a new level of sophistication and get you prepared for your journey through professional web development. Updated for ES6, this book covers everything you will need to unleash the power of object-oriented programming in JavaScript while building professional web applications. The book begins with the basics of object-oriented programming in JavaScript and then gradually progresses to cover functions, objects, and prototypes, and how these concepts can be used to make your programs cleaner, more maintainable, faster, and compatible with other programs/libraries. By the end of the book, you will have learned how to incorporate object-oriented programming in your web development workflow to build professional JavaScript applications.

XMLHttpRequest

XMLHttpRequest() is an object (a constructor function) that allows you to send HTTP requests from JavaScript. Historically, XHR (XMLHttpRequest) was introduced in IE and was implemented as an ActiveX object. Starting with IE7, it's a native browser object, the same way as it's in the other browsers. The common implementation of this object across browsers gave birth to the so-called Ajax applications, where it's no longer necessary to refresh the whole page every time you need new content. With JavaScript, you can make an HTTP request to the server, get the response, and update only a part of the page. This way, you can build much more responsive and desktop-like web pages.

Ajax stands for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML:

  • Asynchronous because, after sending an HTTP request, your code doesn't need to wait for the response; however, it can do other stuff and be notified, through an event, when the response arrives.
  • JavaScript because it's obvious that...
