Don’t be discouraged if it takes multiple readings to get it. There is a lot of material packed into it. The focus is exclusively on JavaScript, which is just one of the languages the web developer must master. This is not a book about Ajax or web programming. Someday I hope to write a JavaScript: The First Parts book, but this is not that book. Instead, this book just contains the things that are really important. It doesn’t contain everything you’ll ever need to know. It is not exhaustive about the language and its quirks. JavaScript is a surprisingly powerful language. It is also intended for programmers who have been working with JavaScript at a novice level and are now ready for a more sophisticated relationship with the language. It is intended for programmers who, by happenstance or curiosity, are venturing into JavaScript for the first time. This is a book about the JavaScript programming language. (I love teaching, but you know teachers will be judged more hushly ) ) For me - I would wish to use it later, for quick reference and also may form a basis of a course I may want to teach anywhere.But I recommend, grub your copy, read it! It's a small 172 page book, surely you can read :) For someone who thinks he will rather read code than read a book.This is for anyone who might have read the book but will prefer just perusing through some notes. I'm going through Douglas Crockford's (May, 2008) book once again, and felt like it's good I document my notes (and thoughts) within code examples.
