When it comes to web development, vanilla may be the finest of the flavors. With plain JavaScript you can build fast, maintainable web apps that run everywhere, load instantly, and avoid framework lock-in. Today's browsers are incredibly capable, and for many types of applications, batteries included libraries and frameworks just introduce avoidable slowdowns, security issues, and complex build chains. Why not embrace the vanilla web!

Vanilla Web is your guide to building serious web applications using the tools built right into the browser. You'll learn to use plain vanilla JavaScript, HTML, and CSS to create reusable UI components, a routing system, an installable progressive web app, and a full-featured e-commerce frontend. Each chapter builds real capabilities you can apply anywhere, even when you work with libraries. You'll soon be delivering dependency-free UX that's easy to debug and maintain and survives neverending tool churn.

What's inside

  • Standards-based architecture
  • Creating your own reusable components
  • Avoiding unnecessary dependencies
