[John · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great to get a quick overview of the basics of Javascript, better if you already known another language.

[Madalin Ignisca · Rating 3 out of 5]

It's an introduction like most books about javascript and programming.

I recommend it to people that don't have the basics of computer programming. Who have them, don't.

[Iman · Rating 5 out of 5]

excellent , simple and just the essential parts in a very engaging and enjoyable book

[Quang · Rating 5 out of 5]

If you don't know JS and want to get your feet wet fast, read this book.
It isn't comprehensive as other books out there, but practical and to the point.

[Sebastian · Rating 4 out of 5]

Well written book but it's for juniors. Don't bother if you've worked with JavaScript before.
