Book Description

Eloquent JavaScript, 4th Edition dives deep into the JavaScript language to show you how to write beautiful, effective code. Author Marijn Haverbeke immerses you in example code from the start, while exercises and full-chapter projects give you hands-on experience with writing your own programs. As you build projects such as an artificial life simulation, a simple programming language, and a paint program, you'll learn:

• The essential elements of programming, including syntax, control, and data
• How to organize and clarify your code with object-oriented and functional programming techniques
• How to script the browser and make basic web applications
• How to use the DOM effectively to interact with browsers
• How to harness Node.js to build servers and utilities

Isn't it time you became fluent in the language of the Web?

• Marijn Haverbeke is an independent developer and author, focused primarily on programming languages and tools for programmers. He spends most of his time working on open source software, such as the CodeMirror, a popular open-source code editor written in JavaScript, and the Tern type inference engine.

• Learning JavaScript Design Patterns: A Developer's Guide

  This book explore many popular design patterns, including Modules, Observers, Facades, and Mediators. You'll learn how to write beautiful, structured, and maintainable JavaScript by applying classical and modern design patterns to the language.

• Deep JavaScript: Theory and Techniques (Axel Rauschmayer)

  In depth knowledge of JavaScript makes it easier to learn a variety of other frameworks, including Node.js, React, Angular, and related tools and libraries. This book is designed to help you cover the core JavaScript concepts you need to build modern applications.

• You Don't Know JS Yet: Get Started - 2nd Ed. (Kyle Simpson)

  By learning the basic building blocks of programming, as well as JavaScript's core mechanisms, you'll be prepared to dive into the other, more in-depth books in the series and be well on your way toward true JavaScript.

• Speaking JavaScript: An In-Depth Guide for Programmers

  Speaking JavaScript helps you approach the language with four standalone sections. First, a quick-start guide teaches you just enough of the language to help you be productive right away.

• JavaScript for Impatient Programmers (Axel Rauschmayer)

  This book makes JavaScript less challenging to learn for newcomers, by offering a modern view that is as consistent as possible. No prior knowledge of JavaScript is required, but you should know how to program.

• Understanding ECMAScript 6 (Nicholas C. Zakas)

  This book is a guide for the transition between ECMAScript 5 and 6. In particular, this book is aimed at intermediate-to-advanced JavaScript developers (both browser and Node.js environments) who want to learn about the future of the language.

• Functional-Light JavaScript (Kyle Simpson)

  This book is a balanced, pragmatic exploration of Functional Programming (FP) in JavaScript. It explores the core principles of FP as they are applied to JavaScript without drowning in all the heavy terminology.
