I've taken a training class from this guy before in San Francisco. He's pretty cool but he tries to push his own APIs pretty heavily which I found to be pretty annoying. Other than that it was good.

Great resource.

Can anyone compare/contrast this with the book Secrets of the Javascript Ninja, by John Resig and Bear Bibeault?

I've got a copy of that around that I've been meaning to read for a while.

Scope and Closures was very instrumental for me in capturing some JavaScript's slippery concepts. Recommended.

I was going to post the same thing. It is a great book if you have already some basic knowledge of Javascript but want to really understand the language and how to use it.

Ooh, yes!! I've actually been writing a little something like this myself, but way more incomplete and so on.

If you think either function or array is a type in Javascript, you have more to learn. (For example.)

I attended a conference and took an all-day workshop from the author of this series. He covered a lot of the content from his books in the workshop, and it was phenomenal. Highly recommended!

Well the comments in here convinced me. Just purchased Scope/Closures and This/Prototypes.

Looking forward to taking my understanding of jack shit to the next level.

Thanks for making this Kyle.

I'm honored to see people are finding it useful!

The truth is, we all don't really fully know JS, and we all need to work on knowing it better. The books are my way of learning it, and hoping that others can learn along with me. :)

I read this book a little when it was in its infancy. The author does a good job of explaining the closures

Very cool, I remember this was a kickstarter project. Glad to see it in completion. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/getify/you-dont-know-js...

Nice double entendre

glad you caught the joke. :)

Could it also be rephrased, "You know nothing, JS"?

Is there a bundle pack on the O'Reilly site? Like some kind of discounted buy all together deal?

There will be once I get the book series finished (five titles expected). :)

Ah, well a preorder bundle would be great! Get the two finished ones and the in-progress ones with the fifth pre-ordered!

Thanks for the idea. I'll pass that along to my editors at O'Reilly. :)

Ah, I didn't know that JavaScript has labeled statements.

pdf?
