I could use a good book on learning Javascript. Anyone have any recommendations?
Background: I'm not a programmer, I just do some things in my spare time. I did a little something with Django and Bootstrap over the weekend, but I could really only use Bootstrap for the CSS to make it look good without knowing how the Javascript end works. So I'm not completely new to programming though still really a beginner but would be completely new to Javascript.
- cfqycwz 14y agoEloquent Javascript seems to be pretty highly recommended. You can buy it from O'Reilly, but the author also offers it for free online[0]. 0: http://eloquentjavascript.net/ http://eloquentjavascript.net/
- abecedarius 14y ago(The pay version is newer. I haven't read it, can't comment on the differences.)
- stephenhuey 14y agoIs it? The last modified date on the free web version seems to be October 30, 2012. That's less than a month ago, whereas the print version on Amazon was published in February 2011.
- abecedarius 14y agoeloquentjavascript.net says "I have published a revised version of the book on paper. The structure of this version remained largely the same, but the whole text has been thoroughly edited and updated."
- netvarun 14y agoI would suggest starting off with Codecademy (http://codecademy.com/ http://codecademy.com/) first.
