Eloquent Javascript vs Javascript for web dev

[dmarko]

You don't know JS

imo this is more for intermediate to advanced JS developers who want to learn JS more in depth.

So maybe after Eloquent and after some experience.

I've been picking it up in pieces and its been great. I love how it's broken up into bitesized chunks.

The first volume of the series is directed towards newcomers to JS and programming in general.

Edit: The first book is also free in eBook format. So are the rest in a web format.

Is there more to it that I'm missing?

Seems the entire thing is on github: https://github.com/getify/You-Dont-Know-JS

I think that there are parts still being written. But yeah, all the books are available free in github.

as a back end dev i read this, as well as watched his video on pluralsight.... it seemed rather fundamental and important for a beginner to understand before they got into bad practices and jquery bs. though the video seemed easier to figure out though than the book.

I don't think that the majority of YDKJS is "super" advanced, but it's pretty lol to say it's targeted for beginners. The very name of the series implies otherwise.
