| Description: | Douglas Crockford is the creator of JSON, a key figure in the ECMAScript standardization process, and an old-school hacker of the best kind. This book argues that, despite the mass of awful code out there in the wild, and despite the haste with which it was put together, and despite the sometimes bizarre ideas that made it into the language, JavaScript has brilliance in it.
By avoiding the bad parts, and using an elegant subset that takes advantage of the better parts of the language (like closures, first-order functions, and prototypal inheritance), it is possible to make JavaScript development not just bearable, but enjoyable. |
