Though simple for beginners to pick up and play with, JavaScript is a flexible, complex language that you can use to build full-scale applications. <p/>This much anticipated and thoroughly revised third edition of <i>Eloquent JavaScript</i> dives deep into the JavaScript language to show you how to write beautiful, effective code. It has been updated to reflect the current state of Java¬Script and web browsers and includes brand-new material on features like class notation, arrow functions, iterators, async functions, template strings, and block scope. A host of new exercises have also been added to test your skills and keep you on track. <p/>As with previous editions, Haverbeke continues to teach through extensive examples and immerses you in code from the start, while exercises and full-chapter projects give you hands-on experience with writing your own programs. You start by learning the basic structure of the JavaScript language as well as control structures, functions, and data structures to help you write basic programs. Then you'll learn about error handling and bug fixing, modularity, and asynchronous programming before moving on to web browsers and how JavaScript is used to program them. As you build projects such as an artificial life simulation, a simple programming language, and a paint program, you'll learn how to: <p/>- Understand the essential elements of programming, including syntax, control, and data<br>- Organize and clarify your code with object-oriented and functional programming techniques<br>- Script the browser and make basic web applications<br>- Use the DOM effectively to interact with browsers<br>- Harness Node.js to build servers and utilities <p/>Isn't it time you became fluent in the language of the Web? <p/>* All source code is available online in an inter¬active sandbox, where you can edit the code, run it, and see its output instantly.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"<i>Eloquent Javascript 3rd Edition</i> is a worthy and much-needed update to the popular programming book. The fact that the book covers ES6 is worth a re-read, but the new edition goes above and beyond with new illustrations, a new exercise, and tighter writing. The 3rd edition of the book is substantially improved from its predecessors and worthy of the hype."<br><b>--Books on Code<br></b><br>It's a smart, lean JavaScript tutorial that exists as an in-print book from No Starch Press, and a free, nicely formatted web version . . . easily the most enjoyable read in this list. And there are so many useful insights that you won't be bored.<br><b>--Matthew MacDonald, Medium's Young Coder<br></b><br>"This is all the JavaScript knowledge you'll need to hit the ground running in a JavaScript project . . . it's a book I will be frequently revisiting as it has put JavaScript back on my radar."<br><b>--GeekTeckStuff<br></b><br>"This book would make a great addition to any developer's reference books . . . I really like the author's style of writing and clarity of explanations. The sample code and exercises also work, which can be a rare feature in tech-related books"<br><b>--Gary Woodfine, Software Developer<br></b><br>"I think this is one of the most enjoyable programming books I've read. It covers the core features of the language concisely but then goes on to illustrate how to use those features."<br><b>--Ian Hopkinson, IanHopkinson.org<br></b><br>"If you're at all interested in learning JavaScript, making this your first guide could mean the difference between getting discouraged and giving up and really getting into programming as a lifelong venture."<br><b>--Joshua Johnson, Design Shack<br></b><br>"Marijn Haverbeke is a software philosopher and all-round genius. He also has a terrific sense of humor and writes both prose and code in a friendly and un-intimidating fashion. In common with the very best teachers he dispenses his wisdom with disarming simplicity. I became a better architect, author, mentor and developer because of this book. It deserves to share shelf space with Flannagan and Crockford."<br><b>--Angus Croll, Javascript We Blog<br></b><br>The author, Marijn Haverbeke, has a great voice.<br><b>--Abu Sayed, Sayed.Cyou Blog<br></b><br>My favorite book [for learning JavaScript].<br><b>--Saeed, @mrsaeeddev</b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Marijn Haverbeke </b>is a programming language enthusiast and polyglot.
