Because Javascript is always backwards compatible, the roots of JavaScript always remain. When learning JavaScript, you want to prioritize modern JavaScript concepts as well as traditional concepts.
And because technologies change so fast, I have selected books focusing on modern versions of JavaScript that cover ES6 (or ECMAScript 2015) or later. In this article, we put the spotlight on the best books for learning JavaScript for beginners through a collection of book reviews.Įach book review will highlight the taste of the book, contents covered, and how it can benefit you. If you don’t have a solid grasp of the basics, JavaScript code is harder to write and understand. While you have probably already heard of popular front-end frameworks like Angular and React, libraries like jQuery, HTML-in-JavaScript abstractions like JSX, or JavaScript enhancers like TypeScript ( for TypeScript book recommendations, I have them here), you are best set for success by learning the underlying technologies: plain, old Vanilla JavaScript. Don't just use Bootstrap, learn UI patterns. Don't learn Handlebars, learn JavaScript ES6 templates. Don't learn TypeScript, learn JavaScript. Learn the actual underlying technologies, before learning abstractions. One of my favorite quotes from the Front-End Developer Handbook explains it best: You came here already with a desire to learn JavaScript, but let me help solidify the goal and make it clear - you absolutely want to learn Vanilla JavaScript before diving into JavaScript abstractions. The key to successfully learn JS is to resist the temptation to go too fast and focus on the fundamentals. If you feel overwhelmed by JS, remember that you are not alone! JavaScript is a little hard to learn for beginners. If you are planning to learn your first programming language after handling HTML and CSS basics, JavaScript is where it’s at.
