You Don't Know JS Yet: Scope & Closures

Been watching and reading Kyle's courses and books for a long time. It brought me from "Why is it not working right????" to a level of deep understanding of concepts like Closures, The Module Pattern etc...If you want to actually understand how scope and closure works, this book is a must.

Short of the ecma spec, there aren't a lot of deep dives into the gritty of JS out there. While this series lays out all the info it lacks the thrust of a lesson plan. Details appear stacked on top of each other. The effect is like assembling a jigsaw puzzle by pulling one piece from the box at a time. Book may serve as good reference but fails to operate as primary source for learning.

very thin content - the book from o'reilly even if out of date is much more useful

It's hard to find detailed content on JavaScript on the why and how things actually happen. When you read this book you actually understand the mechanisms which can instantly be applied to how you think about and solve problems. This should be onboarding material for any JS developer because it is packed full of detailed, digestible content that will improve even the most senior engineer. I found myself learning how to communicate and articulate the hows of JS a lot better after reading the book (I'm a lead JS engineer). BUY THIS NOW!

I like the way he makes complicated things seem manageable.

if you want to learn js in detail buy this book
