A curious JavaScript developer's practical guide to deep dive into Deno and get the most out of it for building secure web applications

Learn everything there is to know about the new secure runtime for JavaScript: Deno. A proposed replacement for Node.js envisioned and created by the same developer who wrote the first version of Node, Deno is a simple, modern and secure runtime for JavaScript and TypeScript that uses V8 and is built in Rust. This book will cover everything from its inception to the currently available version.

In this book, we take you on a fun, hands-on and pragmatic journey to learning Deno development. You'll start building your first Deno app within minutes. Every chapter is written in a bite-sized manner and straight to the point as I don't want to waste your time (and most certainly mine) on the content you don't need. In the end, you will have the skills to create a Deno web app and a Deno REST API.

This book will teach all you need to know about Deno's primitives, its ideas, and how you can use them to build applications that work in the real world.

Deno is a JavaScript runtime by the creator of Node, built upon the lessons learned from Node becoming an integral part of so many apps since 2009, plus the ever-changing web app landscape. In Deno Succinctly, author Mark Lewin illuminates the improvements that Deno brings to server-side web development, and guides readers through three quick projects that demonstrate significant features of the runtime.
