JavaScript in the Wild: Building Apps Without a Framework

By Rafael Sanders

Build Real Apps Without Relying on Frameworks

Think you need a framework to build modern web apps? Think again.

JavaScript in the Wild is a hands-on guide to building full-featured web applications using vanilla JavaScript-no React, no Vue, no Angular. Just the core language and smart architecture.

Ideal for self-taught devs, frontend engineers, or anyone who wants to deepen their understanding of JavaScript without the crutch of a library, this book teaches you how to build from scratch and truly understand what's going on under the hood.

What You'll Learn:

How to structure web apps without a framework

DOM manipulation and event handling using pure JS

Routing, state management, and reusable components-DIY style

Using modern JS (ES6+) features to keep code clean and modular

How to build your own lightweight UI utilities

Project architecture and folder structure for maintainable code

Performance tips for real-world apps

Integrating APIs, handling async/await, and working with localStorage

Creating reusable patterns you can port to any framework later

No frameworks. No magic. Just JavaScript, as it was meant to be written.

Write less. Understand more. Build better.
