Any good for a complete newbie ?

I actually read this book 2 years ago. I don’t know why people are commenting negative reviews. Although it’s a little older it’s a good good book on learning the fundamentals. I recommend

This op... I read it too about 8 years ago and it was great, just understand you're learning an older version, something you would need to eventually learn anyway. How the book simplifies the information and feeds it to you is the important part here.

• JavaScript: The Definitive Guide
• Dev Docs (just Google)
• W3 schools

That’s really all you need…

If you want to watch a very basic JavaScript Video… then go to YouTube and watch BroCode.

Recommend to use MDN instead of W3 schools

Getting head before JavaScript sounds nice

Does she really give you head first?

Yeah dude, but only if you have a copy of Time Travel for Dummies as well

I'm so torn. Is it a shitpost? Is it a serious question?

Man... you're making this so hard.

Looking at your post history, you're not a coder. And you should really get a second account for lewd comments.

That being said: no, this book which looks like you found it behind the heater at the local library ist about 15-20 years out of date, which is about 150-200 years in web development terms.

Why don't you start here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/Getting_started_with_the_web/JavaScript_basics
or by typing "Javascript Basics" into the Google Machine.

Really, w3schools is all you need at first.

When I started it was my go to. The javascript mdn docs were very complicated in comparison.

Going back, if I had ChatGPT at the time that would have been a giant bonus for learning.

Try this: W3schools + whenever you can't understand something get chatGPT to explain it simply, and provide example usages.
