| The majority of my programming since university has been in the .net space... but am being increasingly required to deal with JavaScript day-to-day and would like to learn more.
Initially this will mostly be for web development, but I've been meaning to play with node for a long time as well. I am comfortable enough with the basic syntax etc, so not looking for absolute beginners stuff, but I would love some recommendations of resources that teach about real world use of the language ... common patterns & anti-patterns, typical coding style etc.
A nice book or two would be ideal, but online resources are fine too! Basically I don't just want to write JavaScript, I want to write good JavaScript. |
