|
<p>With a book named "Master JavaScript Design Patterns", I was expecting |
|
something about some JavaScript common patterns, like subscribing and |
|
generating events, proper way of transversing structures and such.</p> |
|
<p>But nope.</p> |
|
<p>The book starts with the classical design patterns from the Gang of Four, |
|
which doesn't seem so bad if the book was named "Learning Design Patterns with |
|
JavaScript", in a way to make learning the design patterns more streamlined |
|
for people who already know JavaScript. But, then again, things fall apart, |
|
with the Observer pattern being designed with a list of callbacks in a |
|
structured, instead of creating a real event -- something, again, really |
|
common in JavaScript.</p> |
|
<p>Not only that, but some stuff seems really off. Like explaining lazy |
|
evaluation -- something only ES6 has -- with... lists. Yup, lazy evaluation, |
|
for the book, means adding things in a list only when you need to remove |
|
things from the list. It would make so much more sense if the author jumped |
|
into the ES6 bandwagon for this and explained the "yield" command... but no, |
|
he had to write some lazy text.</p> |
|
<p>The fact that all examples are based on Game of Thrones -- with all being |
|
based on things that happen in Westeros -- don't make it funny or interesting. |
|
Worse, none of the examples are related, so the author just keeps jumping |
|
between weird scenarios to explain the "patterns".</p> |
|
<p>Even when you throw the JavaScript away and decide to read it to learn some |
|
design patterns, you waste your time. Some designs, mostly the MV*, are |
|
hastily described and just superficially analyzed. </p> |
|
<p>It really starts a bit off -- again, if it was "Learning Design Patterns with |
|
JavaScript", it would be almost perfect -- and then goes downhill by some lazy |
|
writing and wrong assumptions.</p> |
