Description
JavaScript is the programming language of the World Wide Web, and it is also developing into a powerful general-purpose programming language. You’ll love the way this series teaches programming with JavaScript, where you don’t need to learn “everything” about it—just how to use it efficiently to solve real problems. Best-selling author Michael Hartl teaches JavaScript by getting you started writing practical and modern JavaScript programs as fast as possible, with a focus on the real tools used every day by software developers.
Even if you’re new to programming, Hartl helps you quickly build technical sophistication as you gain a solid understanding of JavaScript for object-oriented and functional programming, including making JavaScript modules with test-driven development and Node.js. Focused exercises help you internalize what matters, without wasting time on details pros don’t care about. Soon, it’ll be like you were born knowing this stuff—and you’ll be suddenly, seriously dangerous.
