JavaScript The Good Parts by Douglas Crockford

Javascript: The Good Part by Douglas Crockford Single owner since new, from a smoke free home. Front and rear covers are very slightly worn at corners. Paperback, O’Reilly 2008 First Edition, 153 pages. If you are an experienced programmer, familiar with traditional compiled and interpreted Object Oriented languages, but are not familiar with JavaScript, you will find it a bit weird. This book will help you understand JavaScript and recognise the parts you should ignore. From the back page: Most programming languages contain good and bad components, but JavaScript has more than its share of the latter, as it was developed and released in a hurry, before it could be refined. This authoritative book scrapes away the most horrendous features to reveal a subset of JavaScript that’s more reliable, readable, and maintainable than the language as a whole — a subset you can use to create truly extensible and efficient code.
