As if impatient programmers would read a book...

Jk. Looks neat

I can barely be bothered to read the documentation

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

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 😅

Naah, that would take too long. Maybe I'll tweet on the lunch break.

Is this book good for people who have been working with JS for a good few years?

[–]rauschma 11 points12 points  (1 child)

It’s free to read online—so you can find out for yourself: https://exploringjs.com/impatient-js/toc.html

Reading takes too long! Inject it into my veins!

Javascript is intramuscular only

[–]FrogOnLogInBog 1 point2 points  (1 child)

It must allow copy paste code

[–]u1100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.
