Recommend a book on JS

Question

JavaScript

I really want to find a small (ideally up to 150 pages) book on JS. I have been working with JS for a long time, but I don’t have some basic knowledge. I want something that is written in simple language, where there are well-documented and useful examples (40 examples of using IF {} ELSE {} are not useful, but I really want to see more about prototype and objects), preferably in Russian and preferably in PDF.

Having recently read a topic about NodeJS and an error with a variable declaration, I realized that it was time to tighten up the theory and learn simple truths.

Answer 1

A good, free, interactive book: eloquentjavascript.net/ With the proper approach, it takes a week to complete. Then you should contact her if any questions arise in the process of work. The documentation is a reference in terms of the language and the DOM is good for Mozilla: in Google, it is best to ask queries “something there mdn” - this way you will immediately get to the “correct” pages.
After it, I advise JavaScript The Good Parts - it is paid, if there is nowhere to download and there is no way to buy, then I advise Crockford's video lectures and materials on his website.
Then the "advanced part" is completely optional, but the understanding of how the language works after it increases incredibly: ejohn.org/apps/learn/

One of the best JS books in my opinion. Must read, especially if you work with JS often.

Answer 3

Rhino has already been named.
After Rhino, I would read Javascript Patterns .
Then maybe something from Resig's books, like Javascript Ninja Secrets .

Answer 4

If we talk about theory, then the best and most detailed is certainly the “rhinoceros” (David Flanagan - JavaScript: The Definitive Guide). The book, of course, is very voluminous, but there 50%+ is occupied by the reference book.

Answer 6

David Flanagan - Javascript (5th Edition)

Answer 7

John Reisig JavaScript. Professional programming techniques" .
The book is useful. First, it talks about OOP (references, overloads, scopes, closures, context), then - the creation of reusable code (standardization of OO code, classical inheritance). After that, we talk about unobtrusive JS (DOM, events, CSS, forms). There is a large chapter dedicated to Ajax. Lots of examples.
The very beginning, judging by the question, will be the most interesting. Volume - 350 pages.

Answer 9

Thanks everyone! Everything was recorded in memory. I started with eloquentjavascript.net , I'll finish it ... hmm ... but how I finish, that's another question :) I will also definitely read John Reisig “JavaScript. Professional Programming Techniques”, a very tempting start. And thanks again for the useful literature.

Answer 10

Head First JavaScript.
As with all books in the Head First series, the presentation of the material is unusual but very effective.
