JavaScript: The Comprehensive Guide to Learning Professional JavaScript Programming (Rheinwerk Computing)

I am really impressed with this book.It is well written and designed, it is good for beginners and more experienced.It covers a wide range of topics and wide range of nuances, has a great in depth index section that can be used for references.This book really is a pleasure to read and will be my go to book for references.Tip: If there is some more complex stuff in the book that you do not understand I recommend using CHAT GPT while reading as a reading tool to break down source code or paragraphs, it is a great companion for studying.

This book is very, very thorough, leaving no rock unturned. I've purchased other books in the past from other authors and was disappointed because they didn't know what they were talking about. Fortunately this comprehensive guide was written by experts and I am so thankful to have come across it! Thank you Philip Ackermann and Rheinwerk Computing!

It has practical example. Its well, organized with diagrams and highlighted sections. It's skimable, It doesn't waste time with paragraphs of text to explain simple things like what a variable is. But It attacks complex concepts with through and concise explanations . Its the best book on javascript I've bought.

Great book with a lot of theory, everything is very well organized

A lot of details. Really good. Only problem, like all of the other books on JavaScript - it is out of date.

product received on-time and in good condition

With SAP's focus on cloud based architecture, I needed to learn about JavaScript and how it can be used in SAP application development. This guide truly is comprehensive - starting at programming basic concepts and continuing through advanced applications like node.js. I especially liked the chapter on developing a professional development process. It is good to see Philip give attention to source code management and version control. Philip is very knowledgeable with application development in JavaScript and has written an excellent resource for anyone looking to learn JavaScript for the first time or seasoned developers looking for perfecting a specific skill.

If the font weren't so big, there wouldn't be nearly as many pages. If you have any experience programming, you can skip the first half of the book other than skimming through that part just looking at syntax. The second half is where the value in this book is. The index in the back is pretty small, I can't tell if it's not doing a good job of helping someone find different things in the book, or if there just isn't that much to index. It seems more like a beginning/intermediate book to me.
