JavaScript is the little scripting language that could. Once used
chiefly to add interactivity to web browser windows, JavaScript is now a
primary building block of powerful and robust applications. In this
practical book, new and experienced JavaScript developers will learn how
to use this language to create APIs as well as web, mobile, and desktop
applications.

Node.js, GraphQL, React, React Native, and Electron. Ideal for
developers who want to build full stack applications and ambitious web
development beginners looking to bootstrap a startup, this book shows

several platforms.
