Michael Hartl, “Learn Enough jаvascript to Be Dangerous: Write Programs, Publish Packages, and Develop Interactive Websites with jаvascript”
All You Need to Know, and Nothing You Don’t, to Write jаvascript for the Web and Beyond
jаvascript plays a key role in modern software development, not only because it is the only language that runs inside virtually all web browsers, but also because it has become widely used for back-end and general-purpose development as well. Although jаvascript is a big language, 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 jаvascript to Be Dangerous, renowned instructor Michael Hartl teaches the specific concepts, skills, and approaches you need to be professionally productive.
Even if you’ve never programmed before, Hartl helps you quickly build technical sophistication and master the lore you need to succeed. Treating jаvascript as a general-purpose language right from the start, Hartl offers examples for creating dynamic effects in browsers and for writing scripts and modules using Node.js. 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.
