JavaScript All-in-One For Dummies

I haven't read a technical book with such joy for a while. This book is definitely one of them. It will help you to build very solid knowledge on areas it touches. Highly recommended!

I found the way this book is written and how it is separated out between different web technologies was very useful for both new and intermediate engineers

I haven't finished it yet but the book is well structured and easy to understand to getting in to javascript.

Used, but helpful. Thank you

So far so good. Don't skip the intri pages contains useful info in updates and online downloads.

I love the book. I just wish it included Angular alongside React and Vue.

Not sure if I am smart enough for JavaScript, but this book has been a helpful companion in the attempt of learning. The book is written in an engaging manner and is easy to follow. I have encountered some typos and errors along the way which caused some stumbling. I guess in a way the errors have helped with the learning process because I had to figure it out.

I couldn’t get the same results as described in the book

Don't be put off by the 'for Dummies' brand. They are not... This is a good omnibus of 6 (I think) books, that cover a wide range of topics in Javascript - including a significant chunk on Node.JS as well as several full-stack frameworks based upon the Node back-end technology (React, Vue, Svelte). This was a nice surprise as I was expecting mostly discussion on client-side Javascript. For those looking for something that introduces the full ecosystem of modern Javascript (i.e. server side as well as client-side) as well as some popular development tools, I highly recommend this. Especially at this price... It's definitely a book to dip into as a reference, rather than read cover-to-cover, but the omnibus nature does mean that the main sections are somewhat self-contained (though do build upon the prior sections). As with most (all?) '.. for Dummies' publications, this is easy to read and has good examples throughout. Some might be put off by the less formal tone though.

Jag gillar att det är sju böcker i en ända bok. Men det är på väg att komma ut en ny bok html/css/javascript. Det är möjligt att jag borde ha väntat på den istället för den här boken.

I bought this book because I want to use Google Apps Script, which is a Javascript-based tool, so some of the material in the book that is directed at website building is of little interest to me. However, the actual Javascript material is outstanding. Chris Minnick is a gifted teacher, as well as an experienced geek. He writes exceptionally well, introduces topics logically one at a time, and builds on each topic as he introduces the next one. I found myself reading parts of the book just for the pleasure of reading it! (No, he is not my cousin.) The book is a thorough primer on Javascript, including all the latest additions and improvements such as classes and 'thick arrow' syntax, and including many best practices. If you learn better from books than from videos -- as I do -- you will find this book thoroughly satisfying. It also has an excellent index, so makes a fine Javascript reference. There are very few how-to technical books that I recommend unreservedly, but this is certainly one.
