What is the difference between the 2015 and 2018 editions of Learning JavaScript Programming by E. Freeman?

Question

JavaScript

What are the differences between these editions? Can I use the 2015 edition for self-study without fear that I may come across outdated or simply non-working code fragments? (because I'm a beginner, such moments scare me away) Or is there something new in the 2018 edition (+ there are no errors), and it is better to familiarize yourself with it?

Answer 1

The 2018 edition is better. many bugs fixed there and new language features added

Answer 2

it is clear that 2018 is preferable, but between 2015 and 2018 there will be no such difference as between conditional 2012 and 2018. I read 2017, and the book itself had no impact. In general, there it was like reading, reading everything is clear then bang! something strange. And figure it out yourself. The old videos from YouTube from the sorax channel turned out to be much more useful
