"Async JavaScript is the first full book I've seen dedicated to a key topic in JavaScript development today: how to deal with concurrency and concurrent tasks without going crazy! For the sake of your sanity, check this out."
—Peter Cooper, creator of JavaScript Weekly
JavaScript is a single-threaded language living in a multimedia, multi-tasking, multi-core world. Even experienced JavaScripters sometimes find themselves overwhelmed as complex apps grow into a tangled web of callbacks.
With Async JavaScript, you'll learn about:
•Event scheduling
•The PubSub pattern
•Promises and Deferred objects
•Flow control with Async.js
•Recipes for common async scenarios
•Multi-threading with Web Workers
•AltJS languages
and more, with examples tailored to jQuery and Node.js.
