Book Recommendations: Isomorphic JavaScript Web Development

I finally got around to finish the new book my friend and colleague @talabes wrote and I think it’s great. Here’s why.

☝That’s me every single time I try to start a simple web project. If you are like me, not a full-time front-end developer, you probably know what I’m talking about (if not check this article and try not to choke on your cereal laughing).

I found Tomas’ book to be the perfect cure against decision paralysis in the world of JavaScript web development. His approach is practical and concise:

“Here’s the stack we are using. This is how you set it up and this is a basic example of what we’re trying to achieve. If you want to go deeper go and read this.”¹

From testing and bundling to routing and security this book goes through all the topics a developer needs to know, with easy-to-follow examples and useful tips ”from-the trenches”. It serves as a comprehensive guide, covering all the things we need to consider to get our application up and running.

Finally, I love that the book answers common questions that sometimes other introductory material gloss over. Things like: ”how do I structure my project?” or ”how can I troubleshoot and debug this thing?”.

Curious? Take a quick look:
