JavaScript from Beginner to Professional: Learn JavaScript quickly by building fun, interactive, and dynamic web apps, games, and pages

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.

I'm pleasantly surprised at how much I like this book. I was previously trying to learn online and was having difficulty retaining the information. This book makes the subject matter much clearer. Everything is written in clear terms with a beginner in mind. The book is well laid out so you can quickly find any info you want when reviewing. The practice exercises, quizzes, and chapter projects help you test your knowledge and try out your newly learned skills. I highly recommend this book.

Beginner JS learner here. I have about 4 or so books on javascript and this is the most useful for getting started with vanilla js dom manipulation. it shows how html / css / js interact and give you an idea of how to make very basic pages using the three.there are answers to every challenges clearly laid out in the book. very very useful and easy to reference. can follow along on your own code editor (i used vs code).for beginners like myself, I'd say start with a more introductory book for js fundamentals, watch a few vids on html /css / js interact and then move into this once you know how to do easy algos (loops, if statements, data structures, etc). if the book is hard to follow or too boring, go back and learn more of the fundamentals first. it's very engaging and easy to learn from as long as you start w the right level of preparation.Best book ever. Most useful.

It's a great book, it's really helping me out, but was trying different sources beforehand, and could notice some incorrect code. For me, it wasn't a big deal, at least not yet. I'm just coming up on things I wasn't already familiar with on a surface level, but it could be a huge problem for absolute beginners

The book is well written and actually guides you through step by step, not assuming a pre-existing PhD in the subject. Lots of example and exercises. Maybe some more screenshots though but still it works well as is.

I'm a sysadmin that really has gotten into Powershell. With the rise of API's, containers, cloud and web based applications and more, I felt I lacked knowledge in HTML, PSS and API's and also wanted to learn a 'real' language. Javascript for me was the obvious choice.I have had some wonderfull learning books like 'Learn Powershell in a month of lunches' and this book is much in the same league. You really have to learn a language by doing it and the examples and assignments really show this and give you plenty of practise.It really takes you from beginnings to very knowledgable so it is a book you will spend some time with since there is no quick path to understanding besides practise and good source material. And this book will give you all you need!

If you want a book that makes you learn, this is the one. Read through the explanation, see the examples, and try the exercises. I didn't think you could actually find a language specific book that qualifies as an easy read, but this read seems effortless. Having several books on JavaScript that are very good in there own right, this is the first that seems specific to the learning experience itself and helps to maintain your attention and improve retention as you progress. If you need to pick up JavaScript as an additional language I would recommend this title to start with.

This book definitely covers the fundamentals and I feel like a have a good grasp on the topic after reading it. It's not the end-all in learning JS, but its a great start and an easy read.

Un gran libro con buenos ejemplos y que te ayudará mucho para manejar JS y el DOM para crear páginas web dinámicas

Muito bom e explicativo com leitura fácil e acompanha exercícios práticos

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.

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.

It is a great introduction to js.The text is easy to understand, the code is clear and everything works on the first try, also the excersies and tests are very interesting.
