If your JavaScript is a mess, frameworks can only do so much to help. No matter what framework, "compiles-to-JS" language, or library you use, bugs and performance concerns will always be an issue if the underlying quality of your JavaScript is poor. With this hands-on guide, you� ll learn how test and refactor your existing code to help reduce complexity, improve readability, and gain confidence in the codebase.
