This book shows how to build front-end web applications with plain JavaScript, not using any framework or library. Such applications can be provided by any web server, but are executed on the user’s computer device (smartphone, tablet or notebook). It discusses two advanced, but fundamental issues in app engineering: how to manage associations between classes, and how to deal with class hierarchies.
