Take advantage of JavaScript's power to build robust web-scale or
enterprise applications that are easy to extend and maintain. By
applying the design patterns outlined in this practical book,
experienced JavaScript developers will learn how to write flexible
and resilient code that's easier - yes, easier - to work with as
your code base grows. JavaScript may be the most essential web
programming language, but in the real world, JavaScript
applications often break when you make changes. With this book,
author Eric Elliott shows you how to add client- and server-side
features to a large JavaScript application without negatively
affecting the rest of your code. Examine the anatomy of a
large-scale JavaScript application Build modern web apps with the
capabilities of desktop applications Learn best practices for code
organization, modularity, and reuse Separate your application into
different layers of responsibility Build efficient, self-describing
hypermedia APIs with Node.js Test, integrate, and deploy software

While reading Island of the Blue Dolphins at school and
learning about the real woman stranded on San Nicolás Island,
ten-year-old Tíshmal begins writing emails to “Miss Karana” in
hopes of talking to her spirit. When she arrived on the mainland of
Southern California, Miss Karana spoke a language that no one could
understand even back then, and all that remains is a recording of
the song she sang when she was found on the island. Tíshmal
realizes that some of the words sound very similar to Chamtéela
(Luiseño), the language spoken on her reservation. As she writes
to Miss Karana, Tíshmal becomes more and more resolved to
understand the lone woman's song. The only person able to help her
is a grouchy great uncle, Wéh Powéeya (“two tongues”), the
last living person fluent in the language of their ancestors from
the belly button of the ocean: the islands including San Nicolás.
Together, Tíshmal and Wéh Powéeya must discover what the lone
woman said long ago in order to help her spirit finish the journey
West.First written in Chamtéela and developed in accordance with
fourth grade Common Core State Standards, Dear Miss Karana tells a
compelling story of family, determination, and cultural
perseverance.
