Awesome Book ！

Best book for who start to be a web developer at very beginning。

simplifying hard concepts but a little bit outdated before ES2015 or ES6 JS version， I recommend this book to absolute beginners programmers。。

Too design conscious。 Omits important data just so one topic could fit in a page。 The sample codes could have been better。 It also needs an update。

Seperti buku edisi html&css buku ini tidak kalah menarik dalam penyuguhannya， disertai praktik yang membekas。

Laurence ，

Lots of pretty pictures and colours， but the contents are outdated （pre-ES6） and the exercises barely qualify as such。 I recommend it to absolute beginners （like， what's-a-variable-beginners） who are scared of the usual user-unfriendly textbooks and don't care （yet） about practice and being on top of the latest web technologies。 Lots of pretty pictures and colours， but the contents are outdated （pre-ES6） and the exercises barely qualify as such。 I recommend it to absolute beginners （like， what's-a-variable-beginners） who are scared of the usual user-unfriendly textbooks and don't care （yet） about practice and being on top of the latest web technologies。 。。。more

This book is a great introduction into the JavaScript language and has the best visual design of the content I've seen so far in a technical book。 Which is quite an argument for an frontend developer。 I've read the jQuery part in 2015/2016。 But I'wouldn't advice anybody to read anything on jQuery in 2020 :） This book is a great introduction into the JavaScript language and has the best visual design of the content I've seen so far in a technical book。 Which is quite an argument for an frontend developer。 I've read the jQuery part in 2015/2016。 But I'wouldn't advice anybody to read anything on jQuery in 2020 :） 。。。more

My favourite Javascript book！

I have never mastered programming until I have read this book

I am a beginner/intermediate level front-end dev and really wanted to buy a physical book about JS。 This would be my first choice because， based on what I saw， it is absolutely beautiful， well structured and illustrated。 It would be perfect to brush up on what I already know， as well as to fill in the gaps and learn something new。 However， it seems to me that there's a rather big downside - it is no longer up-to-date。 It doesn't include the ES6 update， so it says nothing about let and const vari I am a beginner/intermediate level front-end dev and really wanted to buy a physical book about JS。 This would be my first choice because， based on what I saw， it is absolutely beautiful， well structured and illustrated。 It would be perfect to brush up on what I already know， as well as to fill in the gaps and learn something new。 However， it seems to me that there's a rather big downside - it is no longer up-to-date。 It doesn't include the ES6 update， so it says nothing about let and const variables， arrow functions etc。 Please someone correct me if I'm wrong because， as I said， I only saw the parts of it， and tell me if it's still worth getting in 2020。 。。。more

Andrijana ，

This book is so visually pleasing， BUT， it is not very interesting if you have some experience in programming。 My advice for those alike （advanced beginners）， is to choose only the chapters covering topics you're not familiar with and read those， since there is certainly useful content in this book。 This book is so visually pleasing， BUT， it is not very interesting if you have some experience in programming。 My advice for those alike （advanced beginners）， is to choose only the chapters covering topics you're not familiar with and read those， since there is certainly useful content in this book。 。。。more

Best book full of examples and colors and info graphic Just Clear & simple & beautiful ！

I'm reading this book after I have read its companion "html&css" （in 2019）。I have tried many years ago （somewhere in 2008） to learn javascript from another book， but at that time it was too confusing to me。With this colorful and simple explanations I think I finally will learn something （despite I'm yet in the page 215）。Despite I think this book is very good for beginners like myself （and not so good for experienced developers） due to its slow pace， it is getting boring to see code that I think I'm reading this book after I have read its companion "html&css" （in 2019）。I have tried many years ago （somewhere in 2008） to learn javascript from another book， but at that time it was too confusing to me。With this colorful and simple explanations I think I finally will learn something （despite I'm yet in the page 215）。Despite I think this book is very good for beginners like myself （and not so good for experienced developers） due to its slow pace， it is getting boring to see code that I think it could be much shorter。For instance in page 215 （but also in previous examples） it is intended to replace text in a text node and to do that the author do it in 4 （four） lines of code what could be done in 1 （one） line of code:author:var itemTwo = document。getElementById（'two'）; // Get second list itemvar elText = itemTwo。firstChild。nodeValue; // Get its text contentelText = elText。replace（'pine nuts'， 'kale'）; // Change pine nuts to kaleitemTwo。firstChild。nodeValue = elText; // Update the list itemme:document。getElementById（'two'）。firstChild。nodeValue = 'kale';I only understand this options to the learner practice the node location and some extra functions like replace， despite that for the purpose of the example it make no sense and do not increases the productivity of the learner。 I hope that in the following chapters these things are speed up。 Another issue is that the book is from 2014 so it does not cover the most recent improvements in javascript， however， I think that for the beginner that is not a concern since thereafter one can buy a more recent book （not so colorful） or search on the net。 。。。more

Funny story， I actually bought this book for my personal enjoyment and not for school。 Shocker， I know。I've made it halfway through， and honestly the author is incredible。 He does a fantastic job of explaining the concepts so it's very easy to understand。The book is absolutely beautiful， the pages are beautiful illustrated so it makes it very enjoyable。 Highly， highly recommend Jon Duckett for anyone wanted to learn JavaScript。 Funny story， I actually bought this book for my personal enjoyment and not for school。 Shocker， I know。I've made it halfway through， and honestly the author is incredible。 He does a fantastic job of explaining the concepts so it's very easy to understand。The book is absolutely beautiful， the pages are beautiful illustrated so it makes it very enjoyable。 Highly， highly recommend Jon Duckett for anyone wanted to learn JavaScript。 。。。more

Great intro， clean and basic， great for beginners

Julie ，

Livre très complet。 Les illustrations et exemples sont nombreux et accompagnent les sujets présentés。 La présentation générale donne un très beau livre avec un contenu accessible。Very complete book。 There are plenty of illustrations and examples cordinated with the text。 The general layout create a very beautiful book with an accessible content。

Siraj ，

Not enough practical exercises， but good and comprehensive content。 Probably works best as supplemental reading to a practical JavaScript course。

Aldrin Taylor ，

Detailed content of javascript technology。

Robert ，

Clear， well illustrated， and easy to follow。

Absolutely useful！ Despite some typo in the second half of the book。

I was working on a practice website with HTML5 and CSS3 when I began reading this。 The end of the book was really what started to help me add to the website in small ways。 Really， it was a great read during my 9-5 call center job， that made me feel like I understood fundamentals， that may have taken longer to learn any other way。 It wasn't what helped me code （practice is all that's really helped）， but it was a great use of time。 I felt like I really accomplished something （not， jQuery though）。 I was working on a practice website with HTML5 and CSS3 when I began reading this。 The end of the book was really what started to help me add to the website in small ways。 Really， it was a great read during my 9-5 call center job， that made me feel like I understood fundamentals， that may have taken longer to learn any other way。 It wasn't what helped me code （practice is all that's really helped）， but it was a great use of time。 I felt like I really accomplished something （not， jQuery though）。 Great writing and visuals 。。。more

Взрыв мозга， тяжело было читать， но！ как же еще освоить сложные вещи и познать премудрости программирования， как не через стремление осмыслить сложное？！

Kristen Byers ，

I like how the concepts in this book are organized and presented in a very visually appealing way。 I will keep this one on my shelf for future reference。

Peter Utekal ，

I would not say this book is good for beginners。 Additionally， before buying it you should decide for yourself whether you want to learn jquery as your first JS library or not。
