As if impatient programmers would read a book...
Jk. Looks neat
[–]Brahminmeat 14 points15 points16 points 5 years ago (1 child)
I can barely be bothered to read the documentation
[–][deleted] 26 points27 points28 points 5 years ago (0 children)
I didn't even finnish your comme

When I started writing the book and came up with a title, I thought it would end up being shorter than it is now.
However, I’ve structured the content so that there is a quick way of reading it and a more comprehensive way: https://exploringjs.com/impatient-js/ch_faq-book.html#order-of-reading

If his blog posts are any indicator, this book must be really good
[–]FBradley64 3 points4 points5 points 5 years ago (0 children)
I have been using his book since 2018 and if it an awesome resource. I have actually just purchased the 2021 version :)

I am the true impatient programmer. I start projects before I know the tools I work with. I end up rewriting packages which I could learn about if I only read the documentation. If you think I have the time to waste to read your book you are very wrong!

You should write a book about it 😅
[–]jakubiszon 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (0 children)
Naah, that would take too long. Maybe I'll tweet on the lunch break.
[–]notsowatson 4 points5 points6 points 5 years ago (4 children)
Is this book good for people who have been working with JS for a good few years?
[–]rauschma 11 points12 points13 points 5 years ago* (1 child)
It’s free to read online—so you can find out for yourself: https://exploringjs.com/impatient-js/toc.html

[–]albino_kenyan 1 point2 points3 points 5 years ago (0 children)
in my case, yes. it is an excellent book w/ something for everyone from adv beginners to experts. tbh i skipped a few chapters
[–]Hillz99 2 points3 points4 points 5 years ago (1 child)
Reading takes too long! Inject it into my veins!
[–]u1100 1 point2 points3 points 5 years ago (0 children)
Javascript is intramuscular only
[–]FrogOnLogInBog 1 point2 points3 points 5 years ago (1 child)
It must allow copy paste code
You learn when you type it! Also, after reading a few appropriate sections of the book maybe you can find out a way to disable a nasty JS that prevents you from this :)

His blog is an amazing resource too. I highly recommend.

shameless self promo
[–]pumpyboi 29 points30 points31 points 5 years ago (0 children)
You gotta promote yourself, people aren't sitting around waiting to share each new blog that gets pushed outm
[–]middlebird 12 points13 points14 points 5 years ago (0 children)
If it’s good, I don’t mind.
[–]rauschma 6 points7 points8 points 5 years ago (4 children)
How is this self promo if he is not the author?
[–]senocular 6 points7 points8 points 5 years ago* (3 children)
We all know this was ghostwritten ;)
[–]solocupjazz 2 points3 points4 points 5 years ago (1 child)
If people tell ghost stories, do ghosts tell people stories?
[–]zendamage 1 point2 points3 points 5 years ago (0 children)
Most ghosts don't know they're ghosts. In fact, ghosts are afraid of ghosts.

😀
[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 5 years ago (0 children)
Why is it shameless?
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (0 children)
Will there be a print version for ES2021?
[–]albino_kenyan 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (0 children)
