Eloquent JavaScript is a guide to JavaScript that focuses on good programming techniques rather than offering a mish-mash of cut-and-paste effects. The author teaches you how to leverage JavaScript's grace and precision to write real browser-based applications.
It goes beyond the cut-and-paste scripts of the recipe books and teaches you to write code that's elegant and effective. You'll start with the basics of programming, and learn to use variables, control structures, functions, and data structures. Then you'll dive into the real JavaScript artistry: higher-order functions, closures, and object-oriented programming.
Along the way you'll learn to:
- Master basic programming techniques and best practices
- Harness the power of functional and object-oriented programming
- Use regular expressions to quickly parse and manipulate strings
- Gracefully deal with errors and browser incompatibilities
- Handle browser events and alter the DOM structure
