ELOQUENT JAVASCRIPT HOW TO
You'll learn how to use regular expressions and how to handle errors before moving on to more complex topics and projects. You will start with values and operators, move through programming structures and objects. The book follows a logical progression of programming concepts. By the end of this book, if you work through the material, you will very likely understand how to use JavaScript in ways that work extremely well. In other words, JavaScript's lack of strict controls can be friend or foe, and you need to understand the implications of this very flexible language if you want to become an eloquent JavaScript programmer. One of the things that first caught my attention was when, early in the book, the author explained how JavaScript's flexibility can either make your life miserable or turn out to be an invaluable aid to getting work done. It's not a baby's introduction to programming it will require some work and maybe even a little head scratching, but it's an excellent and very thorough introduction to the language and to programming itself or, as the author would say, getting the computer to do what you want it to. Want to learn one of the primary languages of the web? JavaScript might be just an excellent choice and Eloquent JavaScript just might be the best route to proficiency with this language.
