Finishing ā€œA smarter way to learn JavaScriptā€ and starting ā€œA smarter way to learn JQueryā€ by Mark Myers. I like the syntax drills because I am very forgetful. The syntax gets in the way when Iā€™m trying to work out an idea, every time. I may start the FreeCodeCamp drills from the beginning because I canā€™t even remember ā€œsliceā€ and ā€œspliceā€!

I just finished this one. It has some really helpful advice for how to professionally program, without actual code. I really enjoyed reading it.

I had picked up CLRS an intro into algorithms but found it was over my head in math. I then picked up algorithms unlocked by Thomas Cormen (one of the authors of CLRS) and am finding that a good starting point to the complexity of algorithms and measuring runtime.

How are you liking the algorithm book you have?

This one

Yep! Thatā€™s ā€˜CLRSā€™ itā€™s an amazing book. Great for a reference book but Iā€™ve found it to not really be a read straight through kind of book.

This is what I picked up after being overwhelmed by CLRS. cLRS is just an abreviation of the four authors last name.

Also Eloquent JavaScript is amazing by far the one book that every JS dev should read
ā€™JavaScript Ninjaā€™ - is a great one too. By the man who wrote jQuery
ā€™You donā€™t know JSā€™ the entire series. Another MUST read

Everyday or so I check Packtpub for their daily free book. In a year, Iā€™ve got about 10 Javascript related books. Itā€™s very easy to sign up, and once you have theses free ebooks, you can download them as epub, mobi, read them online or even upgrade to a print version (for cheap).

Just finished reading a quick book, JavaScript and JSON Essentials

Itā€™s the perfect book for it. No exaggeration.

I agree, the ā€œA Smarter Way To Learn Javascriptā€ as well as the online exercises have been invaluable to me. I love the Pomodoro technique that he incorporated as well, very effective stuff.

Not a book, but a really, really long article: What is code? by Paul Ford, BusinessWeek.

It ran last summer (2015) and is a super overview of code culture. Ford is a fabulous writer; the prose is funny and informative. Made me laugh aloud. And I learned a bunch.

Eloquent JavaScript and Code Complete, they are really inspiring.

59

Iā€™m switching ā€œProfessional JavaScript for Web Developersā€ with the book of Flanagan and Eloquent JavaScript. The main guide is the Zakas book, but I complement with the others and MDN.
After reading I make a resume in OneNote. I donā€™t know if iā€™s a good idea but works for me.

I picked up Head FIrst HTML5 early onā€¦ I found it pretty useful for interacting with and manipulating the DOM. Eloquent Javascript has been my favorite JS book yet thoughā€¦

61

Eloquent JavaScript second edition, my second book in English. Iā€™m having a good experience.

Iā€™m studying Java so I just put in an order for Java in a Nutshell, Benjamin J. Evans. Lots of 5 star reviews and itā€™s just what I need at the moment.
