JQuery and reading Resig's book and viewing the source code are responsible for lifting me from horrible dev to below average dev:-)
I learned to extend the library and understood to create some minimal libraries for myself.
It can be very useful to this day and is almost a ballerina when comparing the bloat of other frameworks or library stacks.
You never know maybe the come up with something better than react.
- shortlived 6y ago> reading Resig's book I hope you mean the JS ninja one because I just bought it week. Do you remember a particularly impactful section?
- regus 6y agoI consider secrets of the javascript ninja to be one of if not the best books on javascript. The section on functions and closures are a must read.
- yawaworht1978 6y agoThe one I have meant was "jQuery in action", at the time that left a bigger impact as far learning is concerned. The jQuery team had promises and other things long before they became part of the standard API, he explains how they made it work. However, secrets of a js ninja is very good as well, touches newer things like generators and es6, es7 features.
