Book Description

This short and digestible summary of JavaScript (ES2015, ES2016, ES2017, ES2018, and ES2019) focuses on the nature of objects in JavaScript, giving you an accurate JavaScript worldview through an examination of native JavaScript objects and supporting nuances: complex values, primitive values, scope, inheritance, the head object, and more.

If you're a designer or developer who has only used JavaScript under the mantle of libraries - such as jQuery and Prototype - the material in this book will help transform you from a JavaScript library user into a JavaScript developer.

• Cody Lindley, a principal front-end architect with TandemSeven, has 13 years professional experience with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Flash, and client-side performance techniques. When he's not wielding client-side code, he's toying with interface/interaction design and speaking at various conferences.
