review 1: Fantastic book! I have been doing JavaScript since 1996, and SPAs when AJAX was still mainly a soccer club or a detergent. (Tip: you loaded the data into a Frame.) What I particularly liked about this book was the way the author is able structure a bunch of useful and not obvious information into a coherent hole without being preachy. Not an easy feat when considering the richness and flexibility of JavaScript.
review 2: The book is basically just a list of "rules" for how to write your javascript that feel like they've come out of some pretty hard earned lessons from writing a lot of javascript in the wild.The guidelines help steer you around a lot of the limitations of the language, cross-platform quirks, and have pretty good readability of your code. Every
... moretime the book tells you "you should do X" it backs it up with a really good "why". less
