Become a Master Coder and Cash In the Big Bucks: JavaScript Programming Made Easy.

Do you want to develop a skill that will ensure you never go jobless again?

Have you always wanted to learn how to program but could never afford those ridiculously expensive courses?

Developers and programmers are amongst the highest paid professions in the world, and according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, the number of jobs for software and app developers will increase by a shocking 24% in the next few years.

In 2019, the tech industry posted 4.6 million job openings in the US job market, and their direct economic output was estimated at 1.9 trillion dollars.

There’s no doubt that the IT industry is the future, and software, web, and app developers are and will be the most coveted professionals for many years to come.

But here’s the shock you may not have seen coming: the IT industry has a backdoor–you only need to know how to open it in order to jump straight on that cash wagon.

The key to that door is JavaScript, a programming language that has withstood the test of time and has become one of the most used languages.

You might have heard about some of the companies that use JavaScript: Netflix, Google, Microsoft, eBay, Facebook, Uber, PayPal… The list goes on and on.

Being proficient in JavaScript will basically ensure that you never run out of job options.

As with pursuing any new concept, learning how to program can be intimidating, especially for beginners. Even though JavaScript is incredibly beginner-friendly, it’s still complex enough for you to need a guide to lead you through the process of mastering it.

In Learn JavaScript Quickly, you will discover:

A full beginner’s guide on programming, including the simplest, most basic things all newbies should know before getting started with JavaScript
Step-by-step mentorship through JavaScript’s crucial concepts, rules, and functions
2 bonus guides on HTML and CSS to ensure that you’re fully equipped with all the essentials for achievement in a highly competitive job market
The best techniques and tools to supplement your JavaScript knowledge, allowing for frustration-free learning
Simple explanations for all programming tasks, such as creating Array elements and handling HTML events, so that comprehension won’t be an issue
Helpful programming exercises and tasks (solutions included) to challenge yourself and fully master JavaScript
How to create complex websites in record time, simply by following the straightforward instructions provided inside

And much more.

Don’t let the fact that you’ve never programmed before stop you from having a highly profitable career–JavaScript is the simplest programming language anyone can learn.

We all start somewhere, but you first need to make sure you start out on the right foot and equip yourself with the best tools of the trade.

About This Book
This book demonstrates code reusability and distributed development to get high speed, maintainable, and fast applications
It illustrates the development of a complete modular application developed using PHP7 in detail
This book provides a high-level overview of the Symfony framework, a set of tools and a development methodology that are needed to build a modular web shop application
Who This Book Is For
This step-by-step guide is divided into two sections. The first section explores all the fundamentals of modular design technique with respect to PHP 7. The latter section demonstrates the practical development of individual modules of a web shop application.

What You Will Learn
Discover the new features of PHP 7 that are relevant to modular application development
Write manageable code based on the GoF design patterns and SOLID principles
Define the application requirements of a working modular application
Explore the ins and outs of the Symfony framework
Build a set of modules based on the Symfony framework that comprise a simple web shop app
Use core modules to set the structure and dependencies for other modules to use
Set up entities that are relevant to the module functionality and see how to manage these entities
In Detail
Modular design techniques help you build readable, manageable, reusable, and more efficient codes. PHP 7, which is a popular open source scripting language, is used to build modular functions for your software. With this book, you will gain a deep insight into the modular programming paradigm and how to achieve modularity in your PHP code.

We start with a brief introduction to the new features of PHP 7, some of which open a door to new concepts used in modular development. With design patterns being at the heart of all modular PHP code, you will learn about the GoF design patterns and how to apply them. You will see how to write code that is easy to maintain and extend over time with the help of the SOLID design principles.

Throughout the rest of the book, you will build different working modules of a modern web shop application using the Symfony framework, which will give you a deep understanding of modular application development using PHP 7.

Style and approach
This book is for intermediate-level PHP developers with little to no knowledge of modular programming who want to understand design patterns and principles in order to better utilize the existing frameworks for modular application development.

Key Features
Leverage the Lumen framework to build RESTful API endpoints for your applications
Understand how to increase efficiency and security of your web service.
Learn to apply the concepts by implementing the examples covered in the book
Book Description
REST is the most wide spread and effective standard to develop APIs for internet services. With the way PHP and its eco-system has modernized the way code is written by simplifying various operations, it is useful to develop RESTful APIs with PHP 7 and modern tools.

This book explains in detail how to create your own RESTful API in PHP 7 that can be consumed by other users in your organization.

Starting with a brief introduction to the fundamentals of REST architecture and the new features in PHP 7, you will learn to implement basic RESTful API endpoints using vanilla PHP. The book explains how to identify flaws in security and design and teach you how to tackle them. You will learn about composer, Lumen framework and how to make your RESTful API cleaner, secure and efficient. The book emphasizes on automated tests, teaches about different testing types and give a brief introduction to microservices which is the natural way forward.

After reading this book, you will have a clear understanding of the REST architecture and you can build a web service from scratch.

What you will learn
Understand the REST API architecture and its benefits
Write RESTful API web services in PHP 7
Address security-elated issues in a REST API
Leverage the importance of automated testing and write tests for API endpoints
Identify security flaws in our current API endpoints and tackle them effectively
Observe the working of Lumen microframeworks and write RESTful web services in it
