JS: The good parts – Still relevant?

1 points by comatory 10 years ago · 2 comments · 1 min read


I'm a junior web dev and I think I have some grasp on JS (use it every day, basically). However I feel like there are major parts of JS that I do not understand, so I started reading YDKJS (https://github.com/getify/You-Dont-Know-JS). I find it well written with good code examples.

I was wondering, is Crockford's book still the resource to go? Is it of any value for me to read it? I'm just asking because the last edition is few years old and I'm not sure if I could find better information elsewhere.

Thanks for any input.

Well... As a big fan of this book. How about this, it is very short book, why don't you read it and see if it was valuable?

I don't know what else to tell you, it is very short book, which doesn't diminish quality of the content and insight it provides.

Read your post many years ago and looks like you made it! Congrats! I had the same dream and I got my first Dev job too!
