Expert JavaScript is your definitive guide to understanding how and why JavaScript behaves the way it does. Master the inner workings of JavaScript by learning in detail how modern applications are made. In covering lesser-understood aspects of this powerful language and truly understanding how it works, your JavaScript code and programming skills will improve.

You will learn about core fundamentals of JavaScript, including deep dives into functions, scopes, closures, and practical object-oriented code. Mark Daggett explains clearly how closures, events, and asynchronous code really operate, as well as conventions and concepts to write JavaScript in a clear, pragmatic style. Many of the changes in ECMAScript6 and its implications are all explained. You’ll be introduced to modern workflow tools to make application development faster, more enjoyable, and ostensibly more profitable. You’ll understand how to measure code quality and write more testable JavaScript, and finally you’ll learn about real-world applications of JavaScript, including JavaScript-powered robots.

JavaScript is one of the most powerful languages on the web today, and it is only getting stronger. This book will take you through the process of planning, coding, testing, profiling and finally releasing your application, at expert level. With more frameworks and more improvements than ever, now is the time to become an expert at JavaScript. Make this journey – use Expert JavaScript today.

Due Diligence and the Business Transaction

Posted: 20 Dec 2013 11:44 AM PST

Book Description

Due Diligence and the Business Transaction: Getting a Deal Done  is a practical guide to due diligence for anyone buying or selling a privately held business or entering into a major agreement with another company.

When you're buying a business, it's wise to conduct due diligence. That’s the process of investigating and verifying the firm's finances, labor record, exposure to environmental issues, store of intellectual property, hard assets, ownership structure, and much more. If you don't, you may later stumble into serious, costly problems, or you may pay an inflated price for the business. This book not only shows you how to conduct such an examination and what to look for, but it will also help you uncover hidden issues that some sellers might not want you to know about.

Conversely, this book shows smart business sellers how to conduct due diligence on their own firms to arrive at the right sales price, uncover issues that might scare off buyers or investors, solve lingering problems before a sale, and more. Done right, due diligence can help sellers ensure they sell the business for the best price and with the least risk. Due Diligence and the Business Transaction will help you understand when to conduct due diligence, whom to include, and how to spot the red flags that signal danger. In addition, you will learn:

  • How to conduct due diligence when contemplating a joint venture, business loan, franchise opportunity, or manufacturing deal
  • How to calibrate the correct scope and breadth of the due diligence investigation depending on your situation
  • How the results of due diligence may and often will change the elements of the final deal
  • How to draft due diligence documents so they protect your interests
  • What successful deals look like

Corporate attorney and due diligence expert Jeffrey W. Berkman interweaves critical action points, guidelines and procedural steps, case studies, and due diligence questionnaires, checklists, and documents. The veteran of many business deals, Berkman’s advice will help you avoid business-crippling mistakes and make the best deal possible.

What you'll learn

  • The nature and purpose of due diligence
  • When you need to perform due diligence
  • Why it is important for sellers of a business or issuers in private placements to conduct due diligence before going to the market
  • How to scale the scope and breadth of due diligence, depending on the nature of the transaction
  • Who you need to involve when conducting due diligence
  • How to find landmines that may otherwise come back to wreck the business you just bought
  • How to best use the knowledge you gain through due diligence

Who this book is for
Due Diligence and the Business Transaction is for business people or organizations who are buying, selling, or investing in a business or engaging in joint ventures with other companies. It will help them understand how to gain critical information and use it wisely to get the best deal possible.

Getting a Business Loan

Posted: 20 Dec 2013 11:39 AM PST

Book Description

Every day,  Main Street businesses wrestle with the challenge of finding the cash to finance growth or use as working capital. The local banker often wants a credit score of 720, three or more years in business, and a fat savings account. No wonder local bankers approve only 10% of loan applications.

Getting a Business Loan: Financing Your Main Street Business shares something your local banker might not want you to know—small business owners have options. And this book describes those alternative lending sources in detail, as well as traditional sources of funding like banks and credit unions.

Half of all business startups don't make past their fifth birthday—and often because they can't find the financing required to sustain their operations. Whether you own a small restaurant, a bicycle shop, a hardware store, a small manufacturing company, or a service business, Getting a Business Loan offers easy-to-understand descriptions of loan options that can keep you going, as well as practical advice on where to look for money and how to apply.

What would you do with an extra $40,000? Expand your restaurant? Hire a new employee to fulfill a new contract? Buy a needed piece of equipment? Getting a Business Loan will:

  • Detail how bankers look at you and your loan application
  • Explain the menu of non-bank financing options available to business owners, like asset-based lending, factoring, merchant cash advance, local "hard money," and more
  • Show how to locate potential lenders via the Internet and other means
  • Show how to prepare before you visit the lender or fill out an application

Main Street businesses aren't limited by the local bank's footprint any more. There are people and institutions all across the country that lend money to small business owners. If you want to find the money you need to strengthen and expand your business, Getting a Business Loan will show you how.

What you'll learn

  • How to speak to your banker about a loan
  • The different types of loans available at your local bank or credit union
  • How to qualify for an SBA loan
  • Alternative financing options, where to find them, and how to apply
  • Using the Internet to find money for your business
  • What to do if you don't qualify
  • Options for business owners in dire straits

Getting a Business Loan is for the 7 million+ Main Street business owners with fewer than 100 employees, the backbone of the American economy.
