Developing Web Applications, Volume 1

This book shows how to build front-end web applications with plain JavaScript, not using any framework or library. It covers the three most fundamental issues in app engineering: how to validate the data entered by users against constraints, how to deal with special data types, like calendar dates and collections, and with enumerations. It includes the complete Java Scripts for three example apps.
