Overview of this book

Knowledge of Python is a great foundation for learning other languages. This book will help you advance in your software engineering career by leveraging your Python programming skills to learn JavaScript and apply its unique features not only for frontend web development but also for streamlining work on the backend. Starting with the basics of JavaScript, you’ll cover its syntax, its use in the browser, and its frameworks and libraries. From working with user interactions and ingesting data from APIs through to creating APIs with Node.js, this book will help you get up and running with JavaScript using hands-on exercises, code snippets, and detailed descriptions of JavaScript implementation and benefits. To understand the use of JavaScript in the backend, you’ll explore Node.js and discover how it communicates with databases. As you advance, you’ll get to grips with creating your own RESTful APIs and connecting the frontend and backend for holistic full-stack development knowledge. By the end of this Python JavaScript book, you’ll have the knowledge you need to write full-fledged web applications from start to finish. You’ll have also gained hands-on experience of working through several projects, which will help you advance in your career as a JavaScript developer.

The need for bundling and modules

Ideally, everything will work seamlessly on a website, without the need for any additional steps to be taken. You take your source files, drop them on a web server, and voilà: a site. However, this isn't always the case. For example, with React, we need to run npm run build to generate an output distribution directory for our project. We might also have other types of non-source files, such as SASS or TypeScript, which need to be converted into native file formats that the browser can understand.

So, what is a module? There's the concept of modular programming, which takes large programs and separates them by concern and encapsulation (scope) into smaller, contained chunks called modules. The ideas behind modular programming are many: scope, abstraction, logical design, testing, and debugging. Similarly, a bundle is a chunk of code that a browser can easily use, usually constructed from one or more modules.
