All You Need to Know, and Nothing You Don't, to Write JavaScript
for the Web and Beyond JavaScript plays a key role in modern
software development, not only because it is the only language that
runs inside virtually all web browsers, but also because it has
become widely used for back-end and general-purpose development as
well. Although JavaScript is a big language, you don't need to
learn "everything" about it to get started, just how to use it
efficiently to solve real problems. In Learn Enough JavaScript to
Be Dangerous, renowned instructor Michael Hartl teaches the
specific concepts, skills, and approaches you need to be
professionally productive. Even if you've never programmed before,
Hartl helps you quickly build technical sophistication and master
the lore you need to succeed. Treating JavaScript as a
general-purpose language right from the start, Hartl offers
examples for creating dynamic effects in browsers and for writing
scripts and modules using Node.js. Focused exercises help you
internalize what matters, without wasting time on details pros
don't care about. Soon, it'll be like you were born knowing this
stuff--and you'll be suddenly, seriously dangerous. Learn enough
about . . . Rapidly deploying a simple JavaScript app to the live
Web Working with strings and other native JavaScript objects
Applying functions and elegant, powerful functional-programming
techniques Creating new objects with both properties and methods

JavaScript, from start to finish Michael Hartl's Learn Enough
series includes books and video courses that focus on the most
important parts of each subject, so you don't have to learn
everything to get started--you just have to learn enough to be
dangerous and solve technical problems yourself. Register your book
