You Don't Know JS: Up & Going

Learn the basic building blocks of programming so you’ll be prepared to dive into the other, more in-depth parts of JavaScript.

Free

It’s easy to learn parts of JavaScript, but much harder to learn it completely—or even sufficiently—whether you’re new to the language or have used it for years. With the "You Don’t Know JS" book series, you’ll get a more complete understanding of JavaScript, including trickier parts of the language that many experienced JavaScript programmers simply avoid.

The series’ first book, Up & Going, provides the necessary background for those of you with limited programming experience. By learning the basic building blocks of programming, as well as JavaScript’s core mechanisms, you’ll be prepared to dive into the other, more in-depth books in the series—and be well on your way toward true JavaScript.

    With this book you will:
  • Learn the essential programming building blocks, including operators, types, variables, conditionals, loops, and functions
  • Become familiar with JavaScript's core mechanisms such as values, function closures, this, and prototypes
  • Get an overview of other books in the series—and learn why it’s important to understand all parts of JavaScript

g hudak Not sure, but my understanding is that Java is on it's way out. So why invest?

Petr This book is about "JavaScript" not Java. JavaScript is the most pervasive programming language in the world, running in every web browser and on most smart phones.

And, Java has a strong following in the enterprise for back-end, server-side systems. Not at all on the way out.

Lastly, you said, "why invest?"
This offer is free so the only investment is your time.

I'm not at all associated with BitsduJour or the author of the book, just wanted to clarify, as your statement is misleading and not based in fact.
