Learning JavaScript Design Patterns

Overall, I feel that this book will help any JavaScript developer accelerate the quality of code that they produce by make it easier for other developers to understand what you are trying to achieve. Design patterns in any language help you express a solution to a problem and better communication with the rest of the developers in your group. Therefore, I would recommend this book for anyone that is interested in being a JavaScript developer or is a JavaScript developer and wants to take the level of code that they produce to the next level.

Addy Osmani's Learning JavaScript Design Patterns reads like a Greatest Hits album of blog posts--if someone made a Greatest Hits album of blog posts from JavaScript pedants. What I mean by that is that, if you're already widely reading JavaScript developer blogs, then it's unlikely that you will encounter anything new in here however, if you're new to the subject matter, you're much more likely to find the text valuable. This makes the book something of a well-curated round-up of the best design pattern related blog posts, articles, and code demonstrations from the past couple years. And while this is probably the book's greatest strength, it's also the reason that people who are already familiar with Addy Osmani's work will wind up feeling disappointed it comes off as something of a review, and if you've been following Osmani, then your expectations are probably pretty high.

Addy does a great job of introducing a variety of design patterns and provides nice examples for each. I'm a pretty new developer so some of the concepts were a bit over my head, but I still got a lot out of this book.

A must-have book for the professional JS developer. I can't find anything wrong about this book

Maybe a good book to start with for Javascript developers, but I need another book on design patterns in Javascript to get more insights on the subject.

Best book on JS design patterns.Although it's Learning, it's very much a good reference on when and why to use some of the patterns.

Good book, learnt some new tricks I didn't know about. Book didn't cover all design patterns and sometimes read like hastily put together.

If you are looking for a book that opens your next Javascript door, this is a good choice.
