Reader Testimonials
Axel Rauschmayer
Author, “Exploring ES6"
JavaScript Allongé, the ‘Six' Edition is both a comprehensive tour of its features and a rich collection of techniques for making better use of them. You will learn much about functional programming and object-oriented programming. And you’ll do so via ES
Jarvis Badgley
Allongé is a must-read book for any JavaScript developer. No single book changed my programming style and the way I approach problems quite like it did.
Daniel Pecos
This book is not the usual Learn the language in 24 hours or something like that. It’s actually a very sharp and deep reading about Javascript and function composition.
