- oinksoft 15y agoI think there is a surplus of books out there on JavaScript fundamentals, the language itself being quite simple. Maybe I (or somebody) ought to put something out on using the DOM effectively, the ignorance of which I think is most responsible for the "black box" syndrome decried in the introduction. Flanagan's book is decent in that regard, but has never done a good job of talking about practical use, browser/version differences, etc.
- earnubs 15y agoSounds like a good book, but might it be out of date the day it was published given the current release cycle of desktop browsers and mobile devices?
- oinksoft 15y agoPerhaps more of a guide, along the lines of QuirksMode, but if the book were set to regenerate on guide update, all would be well.
- Apocryphon 15y agoReally? Eloquent JavaScript is the only (concise) JS fundamentals book I can think of- there seems to be a surplus of web programming cookbooks and AJAX guides.
- oinksoft 15y agoYes, that sort of DOM "cookbook" is scarcely worth the paper it's printed on.
- codylindley 15y agoI agree there is a surplus. I tried to write a book that had not been written before. Or more so, a book that was written in a systematic fashion breaking down the nature of the JavaScript object. I've not seen this done before. Most JS books ignore the object nature because they don't believe most people will follow along. I actually want/plan to follow this book up with a modern day DOM JavaScript book without mention of a library. However, I first believe the masses need to understand objects.
