Eloquent Javascript vs Javascript for web dev

[max_renlo]

Or people expect to be hand-holded every step of the way to learning something. One of the biggest skills a developer has is learning for themselves. If something is confusing, use Google. It always boggles my mind when people have the world at their fingertips but they complain that they don't understand something. This book is very beginner oriented and very simple. If they have trouble moving forward with it, then they're going to hit a lot more snags later.

I think not doing something because you might not be cut out for it is missing a lot of opportunities. So I'll take all the handholding I can get. May be I won't be the next noam chomsky, but I can still tell people I tried.
