Learn Enough JavaScript to Be Dangerous

All You Need to Know, and Nothing You Don't, to Code in JavaScript

JavaScript is a big language, but you don't need to learn "everything" about it to get started, just how to use it efficiently to solve real problems. In Learn Enough JavaScript to Be Dangerous, you will learn the specific concepts, skills, and approaches you need to be professionally productive.

Treating JavaScript as a general-purpose language right from the start, the book offers examples for creating dynamic effects in browsers and for writing scripts and modules. Focused exercises help you internalize what matters, without wasting time on details pros don't care about. Soon, it'll be like you were born knowing this stuff--and you'll be suddenly, seriously dangerous.
