JavaScript for impatient programmers
About the book
Goal of this book: make JavaScript less challenging to learn for newcomers, by offering a modern view that is as consistent as possible.
Highlights:
- Get started quickly, by initially focusing on modern features.
- Test-driven exercises and quizzes for most chapters.
- Covers all essential features of JavaScript, up to and including ES2018.
- Advanced sections occasionally let you dig deeper (if you want to).
No prior knowledge of JavaScript is required, but you should know how to program.
A chapter in the book explains in detail what is and isn’t included.
