I wrote a book about how V8 JavaScript Engine works behind the scenes. its free
- deepintodev 9mo agoI wrote a book about the inner workings of the V8 engine. It's around 50 pages, and every page contains valuable information, there’s no bs or AI slop. I explain how your JavaScript engine turns human-readable code into bytecode and eventually into 1s and 0s, and how JavaScript manages its single-threaded behavior without breaking. I wrote everything in a way that anyone can understand. It’s the kind of book I wish I had when I was trying to learn how JavaScript really works and executes code. It’s free for 4 days. I’m not asking you to read the whole book, but I would really love to get your feedback. (I’ll delete this post after 3 days since after that it might look like I’m promoting a paid product.)
- ozornin 9mo agoHey! I'm not a moderator, but you don't have to delete the post after 3 days. It's encouraged to share your relevant work, even if it's a paid product. Is there a way to buy/download the book without an Amazon account?
- deepintodev 9mo agoUnfortunately, it's not available anywhere other than Amazon :( I'm sorry.
- ozornin 9mo agoMay I ask why? Best of luck either way.
- deepintodev 9mo agoAmazon isn’t letting me :( I published there because it’s a big marketplace and they can print my book easily.
- sylware 9mo agoI would have prefer a [java|ecma]script engine I can build with a simple C compiler like quickjs, mujs, duktap, etc.
