JavaScript Books Collection

The guide helps to master the basics of the language. There are practical exercises – you can immediately consolidate the acquired theory and understand where and how to apply new knowledge.

Unlike most other JS books, this book suggests starting with a clean JDK rather than with projects in NetBeans or Eclipse IDEs. The author teaches how to create functional, well-designed websites using the main features of JavaScript.

There are illustrations, useful tips and warnings about what you definitely shouldn't do. The topics the author touches on include adding JS to a site, describing variables and functions, and talking about operators. McGrath explains in detail how to create and manage objects, and where to use methods.

There is a nuance: the book says that you can read it without programming experience. In my opinion, you still need to understand languages ​​- otherwise you simply won't be able to master the information.

JavaScript Reference: Short, Fast, and Handy

Authors: A. P. Nikolsky, E. V. Dubovik

The book contains a huge amount of information on JavaScript. It is well structured: you can quickly find the necessary data and examples of language use. The authors do not forget to show what the correct programming style should be. They talk about browser object models, debugging and error handling.

The book will be useful not only for novice developers, but also for experienced coders – those who have forgotten the nuances of working with the PL and want to quickly remember. Together with reference books on HTML and CSS, this creation is an excellent help for a coder.

Author: T.D. Crowder

An excellent guide for developers who want to write not only quickly, but also correctly. The authors explain in detail how to use the language's features to make the code easy to read and concise. They also cover the following topics:

• differences in the latest versions of JavaScript;

Overall, this is a practical book for coders, it will help in daily work and self-study. I recommend reading it to those who already have a basic understanding of JavaScript and who want to understand the new features of the language.

JavaScript. 32 lessons for beginners

Author: V. A. Dronov

The book has a total of 32 lessons, with 60 different JavaScript exercises. Of course, they are not the most difficult, because the book is intended for coders with minimal experience. But the author covers the basics of the language well: data types, variables, control structures, functions, arrays, objects, classes, regular expressions, modules, tools for exception handling and debugging. In addition, the book talks about asynchronous programming and Node.js.

A big plus is that the code printed on the pages of the book is available on the publisher's website and in electronic form. This publication is the practice that a beginner usually lacks after courses or independent study.
