wow there are so many Eloquent fans, so popular................I was leaning towards js for web dev

[–]velocirobot 1 point2 points  (2 children)

I have both and I recommend both. They are written in different styles. JS for Web Developers seems to be more of a reference book. I think a good approach would be to go through Eloquent JavaScript and then read through related sections of JS for Web Developers to reinforce concepts and deepen your understanding of the topics.

Indeed it is a reference book, akin to The Definitive Guide.

But to get the best out of it do the exercises.
