About the Book
Building rich JavaScript applications that bring a desktop experience to the Web requires moving state from the server to the client side—not a simple task. This hands-on book takes proficient JavaScript developers through all the steps necessary to create state-of-the-art applications, including structure, templating, frameworks, communicating with the server, and many other issues.

Throughout the book, you'll work with real-world example applications to help you grasp the concepts involved. Learn how to create JavaScript applications that offer a more responsive and improved experience.

• Use the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern, and learn how to manage dependencies inside your application
• Get an introduction to templating and data binding
• Learn about loading remote data, Ajax, and cross-domain requests
• Create realtime applications with WebSockets and Node.js
• Accept dropped files and upload data with progress indicators
• Use major frameworks and libraries, including jQuery, Spine, and Backbone
• Write tests and use the console to debug your applications
