The Deno Encyclopedia

Design Goals

  • The approach for this book series requires a fresh style. Not being another "Pro Book of «insert your tech stack here»"
  • It should introduce people step by step without causing a burden or stressing out the reader. This book series intends to encourage binge-reading and be a series of reference textbooks.
  • In conclusion: storytelling is KEY.

Author Bio

TODO: Need a bio 😅

Book Series

Part 1: Fundamentals

Outline

  • Book Title The Deno Encyclopaedia / Part 1: Fundamentals (stylised as “the deno encyclopedia / part 1: fundamentals”)

  • Subtitle A book series that guides you into the depths of Deno runtime and its quirks.

  • Tagline In this book, you’ll understand JavaScript enough and start working on your first projects using Deno. Also, you’ll discover why Deno is there and how it can be powerful to use it professionally.

  • Target Audience This book is for programming students, and professionals with little to no knowledge of technologies related to JavaScript.˝

  • Book Description This part aims to be an introduction to the universe of Deno, which is, so far, the best competitor in the JavaScript server-side runtimes market. Introduces a brief history of Javascript in a way no one gets asleep while reading, showing why Deno is the way to go.

    Once having read this book, they'll be able to use Deno to code basic applications effectively. Also, they'll be ready to get into the depths of the runtime itself.

  • Key Features A reader should learn the fundamentals of Deno.

    This knowledge is essential to prepare them to be familiar with the runtime and progress without fear.

    The learning process of this book is a project-based approach, complemented by guidelines on how to explore the book. I can further improve the methodology in the following books (remember, this is my first book, and well... need to learn to do things right. Right?)

  • Competition Analysis (and possible future sources and references)

    Strong points: Although writing this book in English primarily, I'm feeling ready to translate it to Spanish, getting an entry point to a yet unexplored market so that I can be a reference to native Spanish speakers.
