review 1: One of the best JS books I've read, period. It covers everything, but it does require you to have some (even more-than-basic) knowledge on JS so maybe it's a good idea to start with something else and then become a true ninja by studying this book carefully - do not forget the details. Even for someone like me who claims to know the ins and outs of JS, this book gave me some new insights on how to abuse JS to do some dynamic evaluation. It shows amazing tricks like function decompilation, altering and re-evaluation to more easily write frameworks and DSLs. It's also good at pointing out how browser engine implementations work and what the biggest differences are. Even a CSS selector engine is in one of the many spotlights in a chapter. Amazing. Read it, love it, hate it wh... moreen you don't understand it, and re-read it until you do.
review 2: Must-have книга для любого уважающего себя JavaScript-разработчика.Первая часть книги объясняет азы JavaScript-программирования, которые, как выясняются ясны далеко не всем коллегам, называющих себя "веб-разработчиками". Вторая часть книги будет интересна продвинутым и допускаю, что может показаться скучноватой новичкам.В целом, книга - шедевр. Очень рекомендую. less
