For real. I did not know object-oriented JavaScript. I did not a lot of JavaScript patterns available. Nor did I now the best practices for JavaScript. Until now. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>This is the <strong>best JavaScript book<\/strong> out there now. I checked out almost all of them (Pro JavaScript Techniques, Javascript: Definitive Guide, and others). This book gives you all the coverage of JavaScript you need. Explained in a clear and intuitive manner. Full of examples. Great examples. I really love this book!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Excellent JavaScript coverage.<\/strong> Basics. Object Oriented. Events. DOM. Ajax. Best Practices. It&#8217;s all here. Plenty more, actually.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Focus on best practices.<\/strong> This is where this book shines. I love authors like Mr. Zakas. He tells you how you should be developing, what the best practice is.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Excellent examples.<\/strong> Another great aspect of this book. I learn by examples. I like to see a lot of examples. Great job by the author.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Great object-oriented coverage. <\/strong>There are different ways of object-oriented programming in JavaScript. Some better than others. Some more efficient than others. I have learned a great deal about JavaScript OO from the author.

You will learn much, much more about the capabilities of JavaScript. I am amazed how far JavaScript has progressed.<\/p>\n<p>I am more of a Java developer than a web developer. However, JavaScript is becoming used more and more.
