About the Book
Literally was having a mini-breakdown about not understanding Regex in algorithm solutions the other day and now I'm feeling so much better, so thank YOU!
I genuinely feel like I'm developing the skill for spotting when and where to use them after so much practice! — feedback on twitter
The book heavily leans on examples to present features of regular expressions one by one. It is recommended that you manually type each example and experiment with them.
You should have a good understanding of basic-level programming concepts and prior experience working with JavaScript. Should also know functional programming concepts like map and filter.
Exercises are also included to test your understanding.
Visit https://github.com/learnbyexample/learn_js_regexp for code snippets. The repo also has exercises collated in a single file as well as another file with solutions.
About the Author
Sundeep Agarwal is a lazy being who prefers to work just enough to support his modest lifestyle. He accumulated vast wealth working as a Design Engineer at Analog Devices and retired from the corporate world at the ripe age of twenty-eight. Unfortunately, he squandered his savings within a few years and had to scramble trying to earn a living. Against all odds, selling programming ebooks saved his lazy self from having to look for a job again. He can now afford all the fantasy ebooks he wants to read and spends unhealthy amount of time browsing the internet.
When the creative muse strikes, he can be found working on yet another programming ebook (which invariably ends up having at least one example with regular expressions). Researching materials for his ebooks and everyday social media usage drowned his bookmarks, so he maintains curated resource lists for sanity sake. He is thankful for free learning resources and open source tools. His own contributions can be found at https://github.com/learnbyexample.
