Very nice online book. The chapter on Functional Programming is very interesting.
Great work, Marijn! Impressive.
Great work! I like the console - this is a great intro tool for learning javascript
Awesome book! Good for beginners and pros
now I’m very tempted to get the code for the console :) lol. very good indeed.
Liming: You are welcome to dig through the script used by the pages and use the code — it is rather messy, I am afraid. The editor used is available separately at http://marijn.haverbeke.nl/codemirror .
Also, the book currently has a rather awful Google pagerank — any linking would be very much appreciated ;)
From the introduction, this seems to be wonderfully written unlike a lot of JavaScript books published by the “professionals.”
I’ll need to check the content, but the style of writing is fantastic!
Nice job Thanks
