I’ve been programming since I’m 15. I’ve been programming professionally as a software engineer for almost 10 years.

I recently decided to switch to a full stack web developer career. I’ve been recommended the book JavaScript: The Good Parts from Douglas Crockford to learn more about Javascript.

Here is my complete and honest review about this book. If you’re in a hurry (who’s not nowadays?), you can jump right into the conclusion.

Overview

This book is about the JavaScript programming language. It is intended for programmers who have been working with JavaScript at a novice/intermediate level and are now ready for a more sophisticated relationship with the language.

This is definitely not a book for beginners or dummies. There is a lot of material packed into it. Don’t be discouraged if it takes multiple readings to get it. Your efforts will be rewarded.
