What is JavaScript
• Javascript is the Programming language, first emerged to make dynamic scripts for Web pages
• What do you think about Javascript?
Why Javascript
• What we use for: Programming Language for Web Pages
• How it was in current: Programming Language for Server-side too
• In near future: It is most wanted huge Programming Language for all
Best Practices
• All we know Javascript
• Everyone can code in Javascript
• All we want to know, how efficiently we will write JS
About GC
• GC is automatic
• Objects are collected there is no references longer
• Javascript Uses Mark and Sweep GC method
Avoid the global scope
• In the Global scope the Object never null, so never garbage collected
• It’s time taking and trivial process to get the reference of global scope
• If need to use global scope assign yourself null after the use
Use var
• Don’t forget to use var for all your variables
• The Variables without var may considered to global
• You are making javascript to struggle for finding the scope of your variable
Get Use of Self-Calling Functions
• Have any one noticied jQuery using self calling functions
What will be the result?
Make your loops more efficient
Conditional Branching
Creating Arrays and Objects
• Use [] instead of Array• Use arrayVariable[length] = value instead of
arrayVariable.push(value)
• Use {} instead of Object
Closures
• A closure is a special kind of object that combines two things: a function, and the environment in which that function was created
• The environment consists of any local variables that were in-scope at the time that the closure was created
Closures Cond…
Closures Cond…
Namespaces
• this prevent the global scope pollution
• this protect your code from colliding with other code or libraries
Building String in Loops
Small Intro to OOPs
• Everything in Javascript is Object based, (note there is no keyword called class in JS)
• Now the question is then how can I create the Objects and its functions?
OOPs cond
• Creating functions in JS is considered to the Object, using prototypes you can define methods for that
Any Guess
• What is the difference between this two codes
Don’t D.R.Y
• Make the reusability
• Make use of Namespace
Cross Platform Mobile Applications
• What are Cross Platform Mobile Applications ?
• Why build Cross Platform ?
• What are the most popular development framework available ?
• Which framework should I use?
Why Titanium
• Code Once Build Everywhere
• Native look and feel
• Has more than 5,500+ device level APIs for iOS and Android
• Object based Javascript only
• In build Analytics
• In build Cloud integration support (ACS)
• Much more

CommonJS
• The Biggest feature introduced from Node.js for reusability is CommonJS
• Make your functions as unique namespaced modules and get to use of that
• We have exports.yourfunction and module.exports as 2 ways to create CommonJS modules
• Woow now browsers support CommonJS with some libraries
exports.your function
module.exports
Thank You!!!
