Hello Bear Bibeault, Yehuda Katz & Aurelio De Rosa, and congratulations on publishing your new book.

Do you deal with $.Deffered objects and explain the concepts behind promises in jQuery in action?

Though I wasn't able to see the TOC from the Amazon page I am hoping the book covers those two concepts.

Also, do you get into any front-end design patterns like MVVM or any other MVC variant?

Best,

Kent Johnson

Yes, chapter 13 is all about dealing with promises and deferred processing.

Chapter 15 focuses on using jQuery with other libraries, including MVC and MVVC frameworks. But it's not a substitute for a book on those frameworks if you want details.

Bear,

thank you for your reply here. Regarding the MVC framework variants, do you have any books you recommend for those subjects? I'd like to learn about MVVM, though I have heard some general criticism against it. I would also like to learn of Fractal MVC. I am interested as to what your favorite or recommended books on the subject are.

There aren't any books I know of that focus specifically on those topics. There are, of course books on specific implementations of Backbone, Backbone with Marionette, AngularJS and so on.

But it sounds like you are looking for more general books. I haven't had a chance to work through the following -- though they are on my reading list -- but these books seem to have a more general focus that you might be looking for:
  • JavaScript Application Design
  • Single Page Web Applications
  • SPA Design and Architecture (MEAP)


  • I'd look through the table of contents of these books to see if they pique your interest. (I would suspect the latter book, but you know better than I what you seek...)
