Eloquent JavaScript: A Modern Introduction to Programming

“A concise and balanced mix of principles and pragmatics. I loved the tutorial-style game-like program development. This book rekindled my earliest joys of programming. Plus, JavaScript!” —Brendan Eich, creator of JavaScript

JavaScript is the language of the Web, and it’s at the heart of every modern website from the lowliest personal blog to the mighty Google Apps. Though it’s simple for beginners to pick up and play with, JavaScript is not a toy—it’s a flexible and complex language, capable of much more than the showy tricks most programmers use it for.

Eloquent JavaScript goes beyond the cut-and-paste scripts of the recipe books and teaches you to write code that’s elegant and effective. You’ll start with the basics of programming, and learn to use variables, control structures, functions, and data structures. Then you’ll dive into the real JavaScript artistry: higher-order functions, closures, and object-oriented programming.

Along the way you’ll learn to:

• Master basic programming techniques and best practices
• Harness the power of functional and object-oriented programming
• Use regular expressions to quickly parse and manipulate strings
• Gracefully deal with errors and browser incompatibilities
• Handle browser events and alter the DOM structure

Most importantly, Eloquent JavaScript will teach you to express yourself in code with precision and beauty. After all, great programming is an art, not a science—so why settle for a killer app when you can create a masterpiece?

原则和语用的简明和平衡的结合。我喜欢这种教程风格的类似游戏的程序开发。这本书重新点燃了我最早的编程乐趣。此外，还有JavaScript！&#8221；的创始人布伦丹·艾奇

JavaScript是网络语言，它是所有现代网站的核心，从最低级的个人博客到功能强大的Google Apps。尽管对于初学者来说，学习和使用它很简单，但它并不是一个玩具–它是一种灵活而复杂的语言，其功能远远超出了大多数程序员使用它的花哨技巧。

口才十足的JavaScript 它超越了食谱上的剪贴脚本，教你如何写出优雅而有效的代码。您将从编程的基础开始，学习如何使用变量、控制结构、函数和数据结构。然后，您将深入了解真正的JavaScript艺术性：高阶函数、闭包和面向对象编程。

一路走来，你将学会：

• 掌握基本编程技术和最佳实践
• 利用函数式编程和面向对象编程的强大功能
• 使用正则表达式快速解析和操作字符串
• 优雅地处理错误和浏览器不兼容问题
• 处理浏览器事件并更改DOM结构

最重要的是， 口才十足的JavaScript 将教你用代码准确而美丽地表达自己。毕竟，伟大的编程是一门艺术，而不是一门科学–所以当你能创造出杰作的时候，为什么要满足于一个杀手级的应用呢？
