9 Best JavaScript Books for Beginners and Advanced Developers
Which book would you recommend someone to read?
“JavaScript is the only language that I’m aware of that people feel they don’t need to learn before they start using it.”
— Douglas Crockford
If you’ve already dealt with HTML and CSS basics and now wish to learn a programming language, then go for JavaScript.
JavaScript is one of the popularly used programming languages, and it is also a renowned scripting language.
I accept that it is a little difficult to grasp, but don’t worry, you aren’t alone. Go slow, focus on the fundamentals, and eliminate the thought that you will understand each and everything in one go.
Don’t be so harsh on yourself; give yourself time, and you will notice that you’ll become an expert at the end of this learning journey.
Well-Curated Books on JavaScript
Just take it slow, and do not hurt your brain.
Now there are many sources to learn JavaScript: the most common are the online courses on the web; programmers often opt for this resource as they think they’ll get hold of JavaScript knowledge within a shorter period.
I am not against this, but the online courses are not thorough enough in comparison to the books. To understand each and every concept in detail, it’s preferable to read books specifically written for this domain.
It is always advisable to refer to a book written by a well-established publication and seasoned author.
In this article, I’ve handpicked some of the best books you can add to your learning routine to gain mastery in JavaScript.
