Tasting JavaScript

Minimum Actionable Knowledge to be Skilled JSer

About the Book

Writing this book is not an easy decision, especially in English which is not my mother language.  I took this challenge placed by myself is because:

  1. Most JavaScript book is too big.  I would like to write one that includes minimum actionable knowledge and allow reader to become skilled JSer after reading it.
  2. Most books are fixed but this book will be a growing one.  I will keep supplementing the knowledge I learn and the feature JavaScript grows into this book.
  3. Writing and sharing is a good way to strengthen the knowlege I have.
  4. Build the perseverance merit
  5. Strenghten my English, communication and sharing skil

I will try my best to make learning JavaScript as easy and fun as possible for all the people who want to learn about it.

Also, this book is intended to be a gift to my son, my wife and the friends and colleages that support me ever.
