What will you learn from this book?
This new edition of the brain-friendly guide takes you through a comprehensive journey into modern JavaScript, covering everything from the language's core foundations to today's cutting-edge features. You'll dive into the nuances of JavaScript types and the great flexibility of its functions. You'll also learn how to proficiently navigate classes and objects, and eventually understand closures. But that's just the beginning. You'll also practice with the browser's document object model (DOM), interacting with JavaScript in interesting ways. You won't just read, you'll play games, solve puzzles, ponder mysteries, and interact with JavaScript like never before. And you'll write real code, lots of code, so you can start building your own applications.
