Beautiful JavaScript: Leading Programmers Explain How They Think

Book Description

JavaScript is arguably the most polarizing and misunderstood programming language in the world. Many have attempted to replace it as the language of the Web, but JavaScript has survived, evolved, and thrived. Why did a language created in such hurry succeed where others failed?

This guide gives you a rare glimpse into JavaScript from people intimately familiar with it. Chapters contributed by domain experts such as Jacob Thornton, Ariya Hidayat, and Sara Chipps show what they love about their favorite language—whether it’s turning the most feared features into useful tools, or how JavaScript can be used for self-expression.

书名：美丽的JavaScript：领先的程序员解释他们是如何思考的

可以说，JavaScript是世界上最两极分化和最容易被误解的编程语言。许多人试图取代它成为Web语言，但JavaScript幸存下来、进化并蓬勃发展。为什么一种匆忙创造的语言在其他语言失败的地方取得了成功？

本指南让您难得地一瞥熟悉它的人对它的了解。雅各布·桑顿、Ariya Hidayat和SaraChipps等领域专家贡献的章节展示了他们喜欢他们最喜欢的语言的什么–无论是将最令人畏惧的功能转化为有用的工具，还是如何使用JavaScript来自我表达。
