Kyle SimpsonYou Don't Know JS Yet: Get Started

### My credentialsI think it's important to tell a little about myself to increase a reviewers confidence that my review is something they can trust. I am a software developer with more than seven years of professional experience. I have architected and programmed custom business applications in a variety of situations. For example, one application was used internally by an enterprise level organization and had to closely adhere to strict government policies. Another application was one that is highly public facing with millions of visits and interactions every month. I used JavaScript for all of these projects, and If I didn't have an above average understanding of it, I would not have been able to successfully develop said applications.---### How the book series will help othersOne caveat to this book is that you need to know the absolute basics about programming concepts and JavaScript (i.e, a basic understanding of its syntax, creating, read, edit, and delete variable, knowledge of primitive and non-primitive JS data-types, and so on). However, if you do have those fundamentals down, then this book is certainly the logical next step in advancing your JavaScript knowledge level. A thorough understanding of this book series will take you a long way in the web application development industry. Simply put, It's a book for any web based application developer who knows basic JavaScript and wants to advance their fundamentals to a more advanced level. It's also a great book to prepare for interviews. I have asked interview questions that can be answered from this book. I didn't take the question directly from the book. However, I consider certain JS concepts to be very important when building applications. Therefor, beyond the basic JavaScript fundamentals (like syntax), YDKJS book series covers every major concept that you will need to build and debug any application that uses JavaScript.---### How the book series helped meGiven that I mentor a significant number of other developers in a professional software development environment, it is paramount that I understand JavaScript to a fairly advanced level. That said, I don't need to know *everything*. For example, I don't need to know how C++ code works in the various browser engines (i.e., V8, SpiderMonkey, and JavaScriptCore) or the various JS runtimes (i.e., the Browser, Node, Bun) in which said engines can run in. However, I do need to know enough to properly debug applications within an acceptable time frame and produce a highly optimized solution. At a minimum, I should know how to find information that will lead me to the correct place to find the next solution and so on until I have acquired enough knowledge to solve the problem. It is my opinion that YDKJS will help app developers reach

Exactly what I needed to start with javascript, having a bit of programming background.

Arrivé abimé, c'est un cadeau pas génial pour offrir du coup !

Conforme aux attentes. Livre en anglais bien entendu.

I guess like many devs that are late to JS they can write code but dont fully understand the inner workings.This book starts to work through these inner workings. I found it to be very useful.
