It's a beautifully illustrated full-color JavaScript book that teaches the basics through Metaphors, Analogies and Easy Interactive Exercises (Works on PC, Mac, iPad, other tablets) WHO IS THIS JAVASCRIPT BOOK FOR? If you answer YES to one or more of the following questions, this book is for I know a little HTML and CSS I tried to learn JavaScript before I find programming books boring I can't focus long enough reading technical texts I need to start really slow I am a graphic and/or web designer I have a book on JavaScript already I am a parent who wants to spark an interest in programming in my kids WHAT WILL I LEARN? How to read and write JavaScript The syntax of the language The most important concepts Programming terminology Basics of the object oriented programming Learn by doing exercises HOW IS THIS JS BOOK DIFFERENT? This is a short book for Visual Learners. Visual Learners retain information very differently than their left-brained counter-parts and thus benefit from different approaches. Full color illustrations help memory triggers as your brain never forgets an image, metaphor or schema. One page of this visual JavaScript guide can equal one chapter of a conventional book as illustrations can make a world of difference over strictly words on a page! Start learning today!
Shocking this book is recommended to those who have little to no coding experience, as in my opinion, this book lacks the depth of each topic and it may lead to confusion for the beginners in the future.
Very brief and picturesque. Maybe not bad if it were my first programming/javascript read. For someone who already has the fundamentals, the only use this book might have are in the last 10 or 15 pages where it talks about closures, constructors, and protyping. However, even those topics didn't go into much depth. If I didn't already understand those concepts on a deeper level, I'm not sure what this book had to offer would have been much help at all. This is very introductory and the depth is lacking. Although, this book doesn't promise depth. Simplicity and more pictures is the point. I would recommend top rated Udemy courses over this book (and most technical books for that matter) any day.
Currently I'm reading a couple of different books on Javascript as a complement to online training. This one stood out because of its title. It promised an "accelerated learning method" but all I found were some weird drawings that didn't add anything to my understanding on this topic. The content is not bad and it even helped me understand better some things about the DOM for example, but it offers something very similar to any other book on this subject.
This book doesn't have any structure. I somehow managed to finish this book but I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. This book certainly has some good explanation but it isn't readily available. Skip this, you won't regret anything.
