Web Components

The future of modern Web Apps

About the Book

This book describes web components and related APIs for HTML 5 developers. Instead of using any huge framework, such powerful native technique is the future of web development. Additionally a nice and small framework called @nyaf is being featured to further simplify the first steps. Each chapter explains the basic techniques step by step and the advantage of adding some custom code.

The second part is a case study about the making of the included Web Component library. It shows how such a library works, what are the gotchas and traps and how to overcome them. These chapters require a good knowledge of JavaScript and TypeScript and address professional developers.

The third part is the full documentation of the library mentioned in the former parts.

The book is written in a simple and easy to read style. With a little knowledge about HTML and JavaScript it's possible to get started.

The examples are made using TypeScript. Despite the simple style a professional approach is the underlying idea of this book. It will make you a pro once fully read and understood.

I'm a developer, consultant, trainer, and software architect. I work as a freelance consultant for enterprises and run a few amazing projects on my own, such as a very smart Web Component framework and helpers for cloud-native architectures.
