Modern JavaScript is more simple, predictable, and readable than ever. Discover how to write better code with clear examples using principles that show how updated syntax can can improve any codebase.

Create a foundation for readable code with simple variable declarations that reduce side effects and subtle bugs. Select collections with clear goals instead of defaulting to objects or arrays. See how to simplify iterations from complex loops to single-line array methods. Master techniques for writing flexible and solid code ranging from high-order functions, to reusable classes, to patterns for architecting large applications.

Transform code from clunky scripts to clear and elegant programs that are easy to read and easy to extend.


“Joe provides a clear, organized path to mastering key JavaScript concepts. This isn’t a boring textbook. It’s a playbook filled with practical, real-world approaches to writing modular, maintainable, and modern JavaScript.”
