Eloquent JavaScript: An opinionated guide to programming
by Marijn Haverbeke
Publisher: No Starch Press 2011
ISBN/ASIN: 1593272820
Description:
Eloquent JavaScript is a digital book providing a comprehensive introduction (tutorial) to the JavaScript programming language. Apart from a bookful of text, it contains plenty of example programs, and an environment to try them out and play with them. The book is aimed at the beginning programmer ― people with prior programming experience might also get something out of it, but they should not read chapters 2 to 5 too closely, because most of the concepts discussed there will probably be nothing new to them.
