Software is eating the earth, the web is eating software, and JavaScript rules the web. The irony is that JavaScript (as of 2018) is still a vastly misunderstood programming language regarded in many quarters as a toy or kludge limited to handling DOM manipulations and browser events. Worse, if you lot're a current front or backend web developer coming to grips with JavaScript you are likely to exist misled by hundreds of out-of-date online tutorials purporting to teach you "The Good Parts" of the language to the detriment of an in-depth understanding of the ecosystem, performant code, mechanics of lambdas, closures, prototypes, and other higher order functions.

This is where the Y'all Don't Know JS series past Kyle Simpson rides in, Zorro-similar, to save the day. As a beginning book on JavaScript, it is everything that I thought it could exist: concise, tightly written, absolutely disciplined, and devoid of the dead-tree filler institute in much thicker programming books. I cannot recommend this series highly enough for anyone interested in JS. Instead of learning just enough to exist unsafe, if you work through this series (preferably open in your browser of choice while writing and running all the lawmaking examples in your Developer Tools panel), you should emerge with an understanding of closures, coercion, scope, hoisting, and the this identifier.

Up & Going also provides a lot of background instruction for those with limited programming experience in any linguistic communication. Equally such, it's a not bad place to commencement for those new to software development as well every bit experienced programmers who desire to quickly get up to speed on this crucial piece of the web platform.

Don't read and rate this book every bit a standalone book!!
It's just an intro book for the whole serial "YDKJS", presenting main features of the language such equally types, functions, telescopic, the 'this', closures and prototypes. The other books of the series intends to get into the details behind each of these features.

It's a nice introdution to Javascript. The just bad thing about the book is the fact that the writer recommends using comments in the code to get information technology well explained/documented (he says comments should tell "why" and not "what" but information technology's non what it'southward shown in code!).

If yous feel comfort with JS, y'all should skip this one and go to the other books of the series.

Skilful intro to the series, information technology covers the basics well. I have JavaScript experience only found this adept for picking upward little bits that I was fuzzy on.

It is really just an intro for the rest of the series though. I don't think there'southward enough hither for beginners to get going, only also not enough for more experienced programmers for it to be worth buying information technology.

I recommend starting with this simply programme on carrying on through the remainder of the series too.

Types and Grammar makes a good second volume to read, even though it is 4th in the series information technology has some basics important to grasp if y'all want to notice it easier to understand the other books.

In general, this was a skilful introduction to both JavaScript and what will be covered in the other books in the 'You lot Don't Know JS' series. Thank y'all to the author (Kyle) for dedicating their time to writing these on a relatively pocket-sized budget (if the Kickstarter is anything to go by), and for making these free to read on GitHub (dandy for those who want to acquire how to code, but tin can't afford to).

Unfortunately, I take issue with some of the language used in this book.
- "simply JS developers seem to stand out from the crowd in the sense of typically not learning very much of the language"
- "Terribly mistaken."
- " just keep post-obit what the crowd say"

Those words suggest quite an elitist attitude. I realise that Kyle has been in this industry many years more than I (I have been doing this for a yr and 2 months), and they accept experienced way more JavaScript and JavaScript developers than I take. But it strikes me every bit odd that this entire series is dedicated to encouraging people to learn more than about the JavaScript linguistic communication, whilst simultaneously seeming to demerit those who might be reading the book.

I'thou also not sure if a total beginner would learn JavaScript basics by reading this book.

It is a practiced book, and I practice expect frontward to learning more. I simply wish it was a fiddling kinder in parts?

this was just the beginning of journey of book, like a clear introduction to what we will run into in adjacent series.

    Fool enough to beginning reading this late but clever enough to start at least. First part gives a summary on the different aspect of JS and I hope the latter books will explain those features completely.

      أنت لا تعرف جافاسكربت!
      لفتني عنوان الكتاب المستفز والمراجعات الكثيرة التي تنصح بقراءة هذه السلسلة ضمن موقع FreeCodeCamp

      الجزء الأول بسيط، يتكون من ثلاثة فصول، يتناول الأول مفاهيم برمجية عامة (المتغيرات، الدوال، الحلقات التكرارية إلخ) تصلح كمقدمة إلى البرمجة نفسها لمن لا يملك خلفية مسبقة.
      الفصل الثاني هو مقدمة إلى جافاسكربت، وفيه يشرح الكاتب خصائص المفاهيم التي تم شرحها ضمن بيئة جافاسكربت، معظم المفاهيم هنا لم يتم شرحها وتفصيلها كما يجب لأنها تشكّل مواضيع باقي كتب هذه السلسلة
      الفصل الأخير يعرض ما سيتم التركيز عليه في الكتب التالية.

      هدف السلسلة كما يقول المؤلف تعليم جميع أجزاء ومفاهيم اللغة، وليس فقط الأجزاء التي يراها البعض بأنها مهمة، أو هي ما تلزم لسوق العمل.
      يُركّز الكتاب على ذكر نقاط أُسيء فهمها في جافاسكربت على نطاق واسع، أو أسيء استعمالها، ولهذا يختتم الكتاب بقوله: نحن لا نعرف جافاسكربت، لكننا سنعرفها!

        A modernistic replacement of the Jumpstart JavaScript volume past Sitepoint.
        Kyle introduces JS and a few ES6 features y'all need to know from the start. Nothing too dragged out. It's actually very short and concise.

        As well nothing complex, but mandatory to know before going deep. Last chapter is a handy reference to the other books for YDKJS and brusque intro about any of the given books.

        Only reason the book gets 4 stars is because information technology lacks exercises that might help readers practice what they learn. It's not a deal breaker, but it makes the reader acquire the author's point meliorate by practice.

        This volume seems to me too simple for other programmers trying to get into JS and too difficult for beginners. I feel like it's trying to be a happy medium between the two.

        However, I agree that a lot of JS users do non really know the core concepts of what the language has to offering and this book.

        I would recommend this book to JS users who already know a scrap about JS. It's a good entry into the other books in the serial though, so 3 ⭐️ for that.

          Noy a bad intro to the serial, the author tends to go a scrap verbose, simply I guess that'south to exist expected. However, this has clarified some cardinal concepts and set the stage for the remaining books.
