The JavaScript Way: A modern introduction to an essential language

by Baptiste Pesquet

This book aims to be a useful companion for anyone wishing to (re)discover the many facets of JavaScript. Numerous brain cycles were spent to make it:

* Beginner-friendly yet comprehensive. From the very basics of programming up to full-stack web development, a lot of topics are covered in a simple and accessible way. No prior knowledge needed!
* Standards-aligned. This book is entirely written using the recent ES2015 syntax, giving you future-proof knowledge. From start to finish, it enforces good programming habits, embraces the ubiquitous JavaScript tools ESLint and Prettier and closely follows the popular AirBnb Style Guide.
* Hands-on. No real learning happens without practicing! Each chapter is accompanied by a series of exercises to put your newly acquired skills into action. A three-part project will guide you in the creation of a social news web application (see it in action).
* Easy to follow. Code along directly in your browser or build yourself a great JavaScript development environment.

One of the best introductions to not just Javascript and web development but programming in general.

The book is refreshingly explains everything in es6, if you are searching for a solid understanding of the language with a lot of examples and exercises, that's the book for you. I was actually surprised by how good the book was. It's so far my favourite.
