Overview
Eloquent JavaScript is a guide to JavaScript that focuses on good programming techniques rather than offering a mish-mash of cut-and-paste effects. The author teaches you how to leverage JavaScript's grace and precision to write real browser-based applications. The book begins with the fundamentals of programming—variables, control structures, functions, and data structures—then moves on to more complex topics, like object-oriented programming, regular expressions, and browser events. With clear examples and a focus on elegance, Eloquent JavaScript will have you fluent in the language of the web in no time.

"Good starter book" - by Perry Tew on 14-AUG-2012
Reviewer Rating:
The book is a good introductory book. It never really moved beyond basic. I was hoping that by 'eloquent' concepts such as design patterns would be the main focus, but that was not the case. The book should be more aptly titled 'Introduction to Javascript', of which, the author did a fine job.
