About the Book

This book is the third in my 5-book series on JavaScript.

In Book 1 we learned about JS basics, and we got a nice foundation in the language.

In Book 2, we covered all the built-in objects in depth.

However, there is something lacking from both books: some more practical, simple examples, gotchas, tips and tricks.

This is what Book 3 is aiming at. We will go through various examples dealing with randomness, strings, numbers, DOM manipulation, and so on, all in the format of simple exercises, down-to-earth examples, with a lot of additional explanation so that the examples really make sense.

Currently, there are about 70 separate useful snippets. But this book is still in progress. By the time it's finished, there are going to be at least 300 snippets in this book.

If we take into account the first two books, by the time all three books are finished, we will be close to about 900 exercises to master your JavaScript knowledge.

My goal is to make a very comprehensive overview of the JavaScript language, spread over these 5 in-depth books, rich with examples and exercises.
