Eloquent JavaScript, 3rd Edition: A Modern Introduction to Programming 3rd Edition

If you are serious about learning JavaScript, and are a beginner programmer, this book can take you to the next level

Have been trying for over a week to understand how to work with the Javascript event loop. Browsed multiple Web blogs, read the "authoritative" Javascript book from that O' "publisher" that no longer deserves the name, hacked away on my own for days without success.Just got this book, went straight to the "Handling Events" chapter, and 3 minutes later, my confusion was resolved. Not only that, but the chapter opened with a quick and easy overview of how events have been handled in the pre-Javascript era. I found this enlightening as it explained without fluff or pedantry why the Javascript event loop works the way it does. Haven't dived deep into the rest of the book yet, but a brief browse indicates that this book is quality from TOC to Index.Major kudos to the publisher for bright archival paper, black ink, correctly sized illustrations, excellent typography and correct font sizes. (Sadly, such aspects of basic book design can no longer be taken for granted.)

Now I can get started on my homework. Great price for a book in great condition.

I have experience with C and C++ and wanted to get up to speed with JavaScript. I spent time with several books, but Eloquent JavaScript was the most helpful. The organization is excellent and the project-based chapters were especially helpful in getting a feel for JavaScript.

It is a good book with plenty of information, except that some of the literature was above my learning level!

Buena resolución de la impresión y el acabado es impecable. Me llegó en excelentes condiciones. 100% recomendado!

I have so many books and many books on JavaScript. This so far seems to be my favourite of the bunch. I have the paperback book (Which the binding came unglued almost immediately - only con on this book I have against it) and I have the eBook. I use the eBook the most sitting on my desktop next to my laptop and external keyboard/mouse and find I can learn from it easily. I've already learned so much about ES6+ (ECMAScript) not starting with only Vanilla and moving forward but intertwining the newer changes to the language with the old and showing along the way (whether on purpose or not) how to refactor the code so it is more concise using the new shortcuts implement into JavaScript over the last few years. And it builds on topics, gives test questions to rattle your mind a bit and you can tell it was written by someone with Industry inside experience. And one interesting thing I learned from it which the books pounds into you is you need to manage the fine line between shorter/less/cleaner code and efficiency. Sometimes if performance is in question slopppy and longer written out code might suit your needs better. It's a 5 star book. I've been waiting many months for this books to come out and it was worth the wait.

I am a JavaScript developer with a lot of real-world experience, but I lacked the ability to fundamentally rationalize and explain the "WHY" of decisions I was making. This was, of course, problematic when I was interviewing for a new job.I turned to books to get a more well-rounded understanding of the language I had been using for so long, and Eloquent JavaScript was one of the most helpful for me. Most everything you need is covered inside with code examples written in ECMAScript 2015 (ES6) syntax which is ideal for programmers working with modern web application frameworks.This book is available completely free from the publisher (Google search "Eloquent JavaScript"), but the physical copy is delightfully high quality. It is certainly worth your money. Maybe give the online version a look and, if you find the content good/helpful/whatever, consider purchasing the paperback.I would recommend this book for anyone who works with JavaScript. For a beginner, I would pair it with a book on programming fundamentals and get started coding literally anything.
