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

A pleasantly different book on this subject. I liked it and found the learning came easy.

Love the book. Would be even better with some bitesize, grab and go kind of code bits.

Must buy for any Javascript developer.

Found a new textbook to use in an undergraduate class

Very detailed 3rd Edition programming. Only downside is the binding of the book.

Great content!

This is my favourite book on JavaScript, and one of my favourite introductions to programming to work through, alongside Bjarne Stroustrup's 'Programming'.It's aimed, I think, at readers who have a few months of JS under their belt and are familiar with the basic syntax. It is a wonderful combination of clear explanations of the concepts that shape the language, and exercises that drive home your understanding. The author's own code (in the book and on github) is elegant and a great inspiration to learn from.I'm not sure I'd recommend the book to a complete beginner, but for anyone with a bit of programming experience looking to deepen their understanding and start to write full applications, I can't recommend it enough.

I enjoyed the book. It is not a beginners book or a reference book.Knowledge of ES6 syntax is a plus. Although the book starts from the very basics and introduces new syntax as needed, it assumes you remember the syntax and concepts along with their nuances straight away, and can apply them.A programmer with no JS knowledge may appreciate this book if there are willing to investigate the syntax when the examples don't make sense.I enjoyed the code examples and exercises. Thought they where great at testing one had grasped the concepts and JS skills.It is a great JS refresher book that could point out gaps in your knowledge.If you are self taught and want an idea of software engineering concepts missed from formal education, I think this book might offer some insights.

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

Es un excelente libro para expertos y principiantes de JavaScript. Enseña enfoques muy modernos de la programación. El material del libro, en general de esta editorial es excelente. No es a color, perruno hace falta, es claro y conciso. Lo recomiendo ampliamente, el costo lo vale.

O texto é ótimo e progressivo. Serve de introdução a quem tem pouca ou nenhuma experiência com programação, mas também serve a quem já tem experiência com outras linguagens e se interessa por JavaScript.Os capítulos e subseções sāo muito bem divididos e tornam a leitura ágil e prazerosa. Ele introduz os temas realmente do zero, sem fortes pressupostos quanto a algum conhecimento prévio do leitor, e avança rapidamente, sem rodeios, mas sempre de forma muito didática. O projeto editorial é também excelente, tudo no livro é bonito, bem diagramado e fácil de ler.O autor disponibiliza todo conteúdo do livro no site dele, mas se você funciona melhor com uma cópia física do livro ou se quer ter alguma referência impressa, o livro vale cada centavo.Se você quer aprender JS, leia.

Not a bad book by any means, but a bit too much fluff and sometimes the author tries to show off a bit too much how 'intelligent' he is by coming up with overcomplicated analogies like in the async chapters.

This is the perfect book for javascript. It covers many topics and is not for beginners. But I am very satisfied with the book . All the pages and the cover is also very good. It is worth it.
