The book covers many different concepts and topics of js. It is written super simply, and is quite easy to understand. Each chapter has multiple exercises, chapter projects, and self-check quizzes to hone and verify your newly attained skills. Each chapter builds on top of the previous knowledge and gives the reader tasks that combine concepts from different parts of the book. The book offers a very practical approach to learning a programming language and it does it very well. You will learn fast, and remember it for long. Great read Read more

I love this book. As a beginner I've been struggling to find good books on JS. Compared to languages like Python, there aren't many books around for beginners, and most recommended books are at least 5 years old. The most recommended one (starts with in "E"...) is super confusing and goes from easy to very hard to follow (for beginners) within the first 3 chapters. This book, however, is different. It's a true book for those new to Javascript and holds your hand, without insulting your intelligence, all the way. The in-chapter exercises are great for reinforcing learning, with end of chapter projects that are fun and practical and challenging in a way that doesn't make you want to rage quit and throw the book through your computer screen (like other books do). It provides detailed instructions on what is expected. The best part is that ALL the answers are at the back of the book for reference, so no frustrating googling or pulling answers from github. The code examples in the book are easy to follow, however sometimes it goes over two (or more) pages which can make it somewhat difficult to follow. This is a problem with most books though, and I wish they'd include line numbers to make it easier. The layout of the book makes it easy to reference and I find myself coming back to it to go over concepts and syntax again when building projects. Sure you can search online, but you can make notes in the book, which is why I love books and often find it more useful. In conclusion, if you're a noob, then you should DEFINITELY get this book. It's one of the most up-to-date books on the language (although for some reason they still use 'var' when 'let' and 'const' are deemed to be best practice these days, but it's not a deal-breaker since 'let' and 'const' best-practice is fairly recent and you'll encounter 'var' in the majority of code you'll come across. I love this book, and so will you. Read more

Dopo un breve corso su HTML e CSS, sono passata a JavaScript. Non ci ho capito una mazza... così ho cercato un libro che potesse aiutarmi e questo è stato il più consigliato. Mettiamola così, sono solo alle prime pagine ma i concetti sono espressi in maniera così chiara e semplice che non solo li capisco, ma mi viene proprio voglia di studiare. Spero di riuscire nel mio intento. Per ora lo consiglio vivamente. P.s. il libro è in inglese e se non lo parlate discretamente bene allora no, non lo consiglio. Read more

This book won't teach you how to program everything in javascript. BUT, it is definitly useful to learn as you learn javascript from an online course or in classes. They speak about different aspects and you can also jump into any section that interests you. The book on its own has a kind of bad quality print BUT please the authors are doing a decent job at what they are teaching. Read more

This book is very good in introducing javascript and does accelerate all the way to some very advanced stuff that I will never understand. I recommend this book for the young hard working person that wants to code. It's a very good book for management. If you are in management you can learn a little code and understand that what you are asking your IT staff to complete might be a bit more difficult to complete that project than a couple days. I'm 72 years old and retired. And, what I learned is that this is more complicated than a passing hobby. I strongly suggest that the authors spend more time explaining IDE's and suggest a very simple easy to script IDE for beginners. The IDE's available for my new MAC were extremely unfriendly to the novice. Read more
