You Don't Know JS - Async & Performance - Kyle Simpson

. .

Résumé :
No matter how much experience you have with JavaScript, odds are you don’t fully understand the language. As part of the You Don’t Know JS series, this concise yet in-depth guide focuses on new asynchronous features and performance techniques—including Promises, generators, and Web Workers—that let you create sophisticated single-page web applications and escape callback hell in the process.

Like other books in this series, You Don’t Know JS: Async & Performance dives into trickier parts of the language that many JavaScript programmers simply avoid. Armed with this knowledge, you can become a true JavaScript master.

With this book you will:
* Explore old and new JavaScript methods for handling asynchronous programming
* Understand how callbacks let third parties control your program’s execution
* Address the inversion of control issue with JavaScript Promises
* Use generators to express async flow in a sequential, synchronous-looking fashion
* Tackle program-level performance with Web Workers, SIMD, and asm.js
* Learn valuable resources and techniques for benchmarking and tuning your expressions and statements
