Un libro básico de introducción al JavaScript muy bien explicado, muy detallado, y muy entendible.
Además cuenta con varios recursos para continuar una vez que hayas terminado el libro.
El único pero que le pongo es que no está actualizado para usar Let en lugar de var.

JavaScript is a pretty big language, and an important one to know.
Although I already know JavaScript well, this was a good book to learn some small intracies of JS.
Would recommend for programmers.
4.2/5
