A (Re)-Introduction to JavaScript by Simon Willison
Simon willison
This is my best javascript book, its interesting its only 20 pages. The title may be as misleading as the name javascript itself - it does not require a knowledge of prior javascript. He has a brief intro how it was supposed to be Livescript and ended up being javascript.
For real, its thorough. Well, it helps if you have programming skills in java or c/c++ or c#. It hits straight below the belt and does well in 20 minutes what others do in 3 or more days.
This book solved my mysteries of everything being an object in dynamic languages, something that has been elusive before now: functions are objects, Arrays and prototyping.
Beauty summarized. Thanks Willison. ¶ 4:47 PM 0 comments
