Please don't. 6yo book doesn't worth it. Even one year is a lot for modern tech.

Agree. Crazy good chunk of exercises, also useful for React & Node.
I always recommend to get any basic video course if you learning something from zero, it helps to start fast. Avoid crazy 60+ hours all-in-one courses. Then do exercises and grab advanced books & blogs & manuals.
- yakshaving_jgt 6y agoJavaScript is not particularly modern. Even all the supposedly new features are copied from even older languages that are more consistent and have supported those features for decades.

I'm sorry, I know you're parroting conventional wisdom here, but have you read a book? Did you look at the table-of-contents? It looks like a great introduction to me, covering the basics that I think would be a prerequisite to learning any of the more recent language features. "Don't judge a book by its cover", as they say!
