I had been looking for additional reference with regards to JavaScript for quite some time, but never felt appealed to a specific one until picking up a copy of this. It is very difficult to write a technical book in a fashion that is appropriate for all skill levels and Haverbeke manages to pull this off. The chapters are organized in a very logical fashion, his writing style is succinct and uses just the right kinds of analogies to help you understand concepts very thoroughly. The exercises are just the right degree of challenge and I'm glad to enrich my further learning of this language by reading his book.

From the Publisher
'Worthy and Much-Needed'
“Eloquent Javascript 3rd edition is a worthy and much-needed update to the popular programming book. The fact that the book covers ES6 is worth a re-read, but the new edition goes above and beyond with new illustrations, a new exercise, and tighter writing. The 3rd edition of the book is substantially improved from its predecessors and worthy of the hype.”

'The Most Enjoyable Read'
"It’s a smart, lean JavaScript tutorial that exists as an in-print book from No Starch Press, and a free, nicely formatted web version . . . easily the most enjoyable read in this list. And there are so many useful insights that you won’t be bored."
—Matthew MacDonald, Medium's Young Coder
'A Great Resource'
"A great resource if you’re a beginner wanting an introduction to computer science."

About the author
Like new but way more affordable
The only issue it that the print is pale but the copy I had borrowed from my local library was exactly the same so that has nothing to do with the seller.

This is Book is Great if...
Before i got this book i knew a fair amount of JavaScript or at least i thought i did. I'm see a lot of people say it's not an introductory book and is really hard, maybe because they are having a hard time getting the concepts. Yes, that is true the book is hard at first if you already don't know anything about JavaScript.FarhanThis is Book is Great if...

But, since i already knew some of the language it was really easy to pickup and i am learning some really good stuff. The exercises after every chapter really make you think, but it takes a really long time to finish each chapter because i have to really have think about every piece of code even play with the code to understand the concept.
This Book is Great if you know some of JavaScript already, or programming in general. I recommend learning a little JavaScript before you pick up this book. I prefer physical book instead of the online version, but you may find yourself on the online version to copy paste some of the code and test your code for exercises.
