Marijn Haverbeke

I had programmed in C for twenty years but needed to learn JavaScript and this book was excellent. It is like working with a mentor who is showing you the ins and outsthe good, the bad, and uglyof working with JavaScript. And, after describing the theory, this mentor is dolling out digestible exercises and projects to reinforce what you have learned. The book is well-written, just the right amount of descriptive text and code illustrations, and Haverbeke does not belabor points and concepts that are obvious to experienced programmers. The examples in the text are pithy but instructive the exercises at the end of the chapters are short but not trivial, and really force you to demonstrate you masterly of the concept
