Learning Path: Aurelia: Web Development for UI Developers

Do you want to write clean, modular JavaScript code? Do you want to create UI that is maintainable, testable, and extensible?

Aurelia is a modern, forward-thinking, conventions-based JavaScript framework that leverages web standards. It allows you to build UI that is maintainable, testable, and extensible. Aurelia is developed using ES2016 and comprises smaller, focused modules.

Aurelia: Web Development for UI Developers is Packt’s Video Learning Path that is a series of individual video products put together in a logical and stepwise manner such that each video builds on the skills learned in the video before it.

This Learning Path will immerse you in the JavaScript world, where you will mature as a developer by exploring the best practices for building an original, functional, and useful cross-platform library.

Starting off with just some basic knowledge of JavaScript and HTML, we will first lay a solid naming foundation for OOP coding by exploring the best naming conventions practices for primitive variables, constructors, methods, and properties. Then we’ll shed some light on creating global namespace, create a pure JavaScript onload script, and walk through cross-browser compatibility. We will learn how the onload and DOMContentLoaded events are actually triggered and understand how to use querySelectorAll method and dynamically load scripts using a script loader.

We will create a working time manager and explore unit testing in JavaScript.

You’ll then be introduced to Aurelia. After having ensured you had basic understanding of Aurelia, this Learning Path will walk you through a todo list application and setting up the development environment. Finally, we’ll take you through a modern web application and move on to talk about tools, modules, web standards, and testing.

Moving on, we take you on a whirlwind tour of Aurelia’s features in order to create a todo application project. After that, you’ll get an understanding of how to persist todos, routing, using pub/sub for communications. At the end, we throw light on dependency injection, declarative registration, explicit registration, and resolvers.

Finally, learn how to implement game logic and basic artificial intelligence, and deploy the game for others to play.

The goal of this course is to provide you with all the tools and skills to write clean, modular JavaScript, and build amazing UI.
