Internet of things programming with JavaScript

深入網頁程式語言的世界 JavaScript這項程式語言的強項是讓使用者在網頁裡加入程式，幾乎可以說是現今所有網頁應用程式的核心，從社群媒體網站到瀏覽器上運行的遊戲都有JavaScript的身影。不僅如此，幾乎所有設備都能執行JavaScript，使其成為使用者撰寫通用程式碼的絕佳選擇。 這本經典之作的第四版將帶領各位讀者踏上網頁程式語言的學習之旅，從最基本的程式元素開始，逐步建構令人興味盎然的完整程式。本書作者不吝與讀者分享自身多年來維護熱門開放原始碼專案的親身經驗，融入實務見解和範例，讓書中文字更加生動有趣。 《精通 JavaScript 第四版》的更新焦點會放在深入介紹2024年版的JavaScript，調整某些主題的學習重心，更適切地反映現今的開發實務。 本書採用實務導向的教學方式，將理論深植於大量實例之中，激發讀者的學習動機。前半部分的章節內容會完整介紹程式語言的基礎知識，後半部分的章節則會展示如何在兩種程式開發環境中應用前面學到的知識，分別是：網頁瀏覽器和Node.js。本書還納入五個「實作專案」章節，示範如何開發更大型的程式，以對話口吻的輕鬆方式，引導讀者循序漸進學習。這些實作專案包括：路徑搜尋機器人、小型的程式語言、2D平面遊戲、小畫家程式和簡單的動態網站。 多數章節的結尾都會提出練習題來挑戰各位讀者的創造力，藉此練習運用該章節介紹過的概念和技術。本書另有建置一個學習配套網站，提供互動式環境，協助讀者操作這些練習題，探索書中的範例程式。 本書充滿豐富的啟發內容，不論讀者是想要學習JavaScript的初學者或是打算提升自我程式設計技巧的進階學習者，都能從書中找到激發你思考的亮點。 ※本書程式已更新至2024年版的ECMAScript。

Clean Code學派的風格實踐：開發可靠、可維護又強健的JavaScript Clean Code in JavaScript 強健應用程式的建置始於Clean Code的建立。在本書中，你將探索實現這個目標的技術，並學習從JavaScript基礎到Clean Code實踐的各種知識。你將編寫符合開發功能、直覺且可維護的程式碼，同時了解程式碼如何影響終端使用者和整個社群。 本書以流行的Clea

JavaScript快速入門與樂趣兼備 《JavaScript程式設計的樂趣》是一本節奏明快又充滿樂趣的程式設計入門指南，帶你用 JavaScript輕鬆踏進程式設計的世界。翻開本書，立刻開始撰寫程式、解決問題，並在短時間內完成可運作的網頁應用與遊戲。 你將從學習變數、陣列、物件、函式、條件判斷、迴圈、類別等基本的程式設計概念開始；在生動的範例和實作練習的幫助下，這些基礎知識將幫助你結合JavaScript、HTML與CSS，建立可以立即執行的互動式網頁應用程式。 接著，你將運用新習得的技能完成三個專案：  一個有虛擬對手的乒乓球模擬遊戲  一個能產生電子音樂的應用程式  一個能從API取得資料並進行視覺化的平台 在這個過程中，你將學到如何： ．透過操作文件物件模型（DOM）來即時更新網頁內容。 ．觸發函式來回應按鍵和滑鼠點擊等事件。 ．使用JavaScript和HTML的Canvas元素產生圖形和動畫。 ．利用D3.js程式庫和可縮放向量圖形（SVG）進行資料視覺化。 ．運用Tone.js和Web Audio API製作電子音樂。 如果你正想一探程式設計，《JavaScript程式設計的樂趣》就是你的魔法工具，帶你快速進入這個奇妙世界，輕鬆寫出真正的程式。別再等了，現在就出發吧！

這不是一本給初學者的JavaScript教科書。相反地，它是寫給那些已經學過JavaScript卻依然感到卡關，對某些觀念依然模糊的開發者。就像大學課程一樣，或許都是死背答案，考試時題目一變就被當掉了。這時該怎麼辦呢？重修就好。那為什麼要再學一次呢？因為我相信許多人第一次都沒有真的把這些觀念學進去，只是為了應付面試而已，面試結束就忘了。這也合理，因為許多地方都是教你這些知識，卻沒告訴你要用在哪裡。這本書共分成了五個章節，分別是：1. 從重新認識JavaScript開始2. 重要與不重要的資料型別3. 物件與有趣的prototype4. 從scope、closure以及this談底層運作5. 理解非同步每個章節都對應到了一些令初學者很頭痛的話題，而你至少可以找到底下疑問的解答：1. 知道this是什麼要幹嘛？2. 知道[]+{}的結果是重要的嗎？3. Closure到底可以用在哪裡？4. Prototype chain好複雜，為什麼又是prototype又是__proto__？5. 理解Event loop中的microtask可以幹嘛？6. Call by value、call by reference還是call by sharing，重要嗎？7. 我怎麼知道自己學習的東西是不是對的？8. 我學這些知識在實際開發中到底有什麼用？本書不教你死背知識，而是給你一個合理的學習理由，並且藉由實際的案例來帶入這些知識，告訴你為什麼要學習，在開發時又會用在哪裡。有些人會說「以後AI要取代軟體工程師了，還需要學這些嗎？」，如果你現在就打算轉行，那確實不需要了。但我相信AI無法完全取代，還是要有人負責debug跟確認AI寫的東西，並負起責任。當僧多粥少時，誰的硬實力比較強，就有越多的優勢，而這就是在AI時代下繼續學習的理由。在《JavaScript重修就好》這本書中，會秉持著重修的精神，相同的語法、相同的知識，但是為讀者帶來嶄新的體驗，並且發現這些知識背後的關聯以及學習的美好之處。我們會逐個擊破那些JavaScript中的重要概念，更進一步去理解它的原理以及特別之處，還有在實際開發上的應用。

From one of our preeminent neuroscientists: a landmark reflection that spans the biological and social sciences, offering a new way of understanding the origins of life, feeling, and culture. The Strange Order of Things is a pathbreaking investigation into homeostasis, the condition of that regulates human physiology within the range that makes possible not only the survival but also the flourishing of life. Antonio Damasio makes clear that we descend biologically, psychologically, and even socially from a long lineage that begins with single living cells; that our minds and cultures are linked by an invisible thread to the ways and means of ancient unicellular life and other primitive life-forms; and that inherent in our very chemistry is a powerful force, a striving toward life maintenance that governs life in all its guises, including the development of genes that help regulate and transmit life. In The Strange Order of Things, Damasio gives us a new way of comprehending the wo

If you ask the average person who an entrepreneur is, they’ll probably say people like Steve Jobs, Elon Musk or Mark Zuckerberg. But the truth is, you don’t need to know how to code or raise VC money to start a business. There are hundreds of millions of small business owners globally, with most creating simple, straightforward services that customers need.Nick Huber, founder of The Sweaty Startup and several million-dollar businesses, challenges the prevailing Silicon Valley wisdom by demonstrating that success as a small business owner is based on the essential principle of doing common things uncommonly well. In The Sweaty Startup, Nick offers readers the simplest, easiest, and lowest-risk path to reclaiming entrepreneurship, generating value, and forging a new path to get ahead on their own terms. By returning to the most foundational business tactics, this book is a refreshing burst of clarity and simplicity in a world that’s obsessed with technology startups, the suffocating sque
