Excellent from start to finish
Worth every page. I have already recommended it to two colleagues.
This is the third book I have read on javascript this year, and it is comfortably the best of them. The writing is direct and does not waste space on filler, which I value in a technical book. A couple of chapters felt like they could have been merged, but that is a minor complaint. The author is unusually honest about where the simplifications break down, which I appreciated. If you have the prerequisites, this is an easy recommendation. I will be keeping it on my desk rather than the shelf.
