Effective Software Development

by David Herman

“It’s uncommon to have a programming language wonk who can speak in such comfortable and friendly language as David does. His walk through the syntax and semantics of JavaScript is both charming and hugely insightful; reminders of gotchas complement realistic use cases, paced at a comfortable curve. You’ll find when you finish the book that you’ve gained a strong and comprehensive sense of mastery.” ―Paul Irish, developer advocate, Google Chrome “This is not a book for those looking for shortcuts; rather it is hard-won experience distilled into a guided tour. It’s one of the few books on JS that I’ll recommend without hesitation.” ―Alex Russell, TC39 member, software engineer, Google In order to truly master JavaScript, you need to learn how to work effectively with the language’s flexible, expressive features and how to avoid its pitfalls.

Prawdę mówiąc, to nie wiem czemu przeczytałem tę książkę. Szukałem tylko opisu jednej komendy. Przeczytałem w niej jeden rozdział, potem następny, a że były krótkie to szybko poszło. (No i chciałem skończyć coś co zacząłem) I tak oto dodałem następną książkę do przeczytanych. A coś o książce? Jeżeli nie miałeś styczności z JavaScript to może być dla Ciebie dosyć trudna. Poruszane są w niej sprawy, które już trzeba wcześniej znać. Być może kiedyś wrócę do niej, ale jak już opanuje podstawy.
