The Complete Guide to Qwik is a 350+ page, comprehensive book, with a detailed path designed for anyone to master this framework. Packed with practical examples and analyzing details that cover exactly how Qwik works, you will be able to create your own large-scale instant application with Qwik.

The problem with modern frameworks is that as the complexity of the application increases the loading speed degrades. Therefore, having underperforming applications, the user experience is also unsatisfactory. The developers themselves will be slowed down by a framework that doesn't help them in their day-to-day work.

New Mental Model: Qwik has a completely new design and mental model approach. This new paradigm allows you to create a successful application for your domain that you otherwise would not be able to have.

Developer Experience: Throughout this book, you will find that creating applications with Qwik is very satisfying. This framework is meant to be intuitive and provide an enjoyable day by day experience.

Cloud Oriented: Deploying to production has never been easier. Thanks to the Qwik CLI it is possible to automate many operations including integration with the best Cloud providers.

jаvascript is a language interpreted by the browser, and any syntax or logic errors are discovered in the browser when the code is executed. This means that errors only surface when a feature is in use. For example, consider a button that saves a user profile. The saving code is only executed after pressing the “save user” button, and only then is the mistake discovered. With TypeScript, however, code verification shifts to the build phase because TypeScript files are compiled into jаvascript files during this phase. It’s important to remember that only jаvascript can be read by the browser, serving as the common language. Therefore, TypeScript essentially provides a compiled language. In the given example, any error on the “save user” button would be identified during the compilation phase, even before deploying the application. This approach significantly reduces the errors that reach the end user. Additionally, it’s important to note that not all modern constructs offered by TypeScript are supported by browsers. However, TypeScript allows the freedom to write modern code, and during the build phase, it translates the code into fully functional jаvascript.

Qwik is unique compared to other frameworks. This framework can send the browser a static page consisting only of HTML and CSS and 1KB of jаvascript. This almost magically makes the application interactive immediately upon startup. However, it’s worth delving a little deeper into this because, behind every magic trick, there’s a trick. With modern connections, a page containing HTML and CSS is undoubtedly efficient and speedy. It would be the ideal situation, but unfortunately, interactivity is needed, which requires jаvascript.
