JavaScript in Plain Language, 3rd Edition

Fully updated on October 2015
A modern introduction to JavaScript, JSON and Angular with plenty of exercises.
This easy and simple book has been written for those with a genuine desire to learn. Be prepared to get involved and do the exercises along with the author. This hands-on approach may be easy to follow but it is not simplistic, it will empower you. Without continual practice and repetition, the skills of a programmer decline and must be reacquired after an extended period of inactivity. This eBook serves both as an introduction and reintroduction to JavaScript with bonus chapters on JSON and AngularJS. The book is designed to be drilled as a way of practicing code skills.

If you’re looking for a solid and practical foundation you have found the right book. By studying at least 30 minutes a day you will feel like an expert in a matter of weeks. After learning JavaScript you will then be shown how to publish your code on your website by using AngularJS and JSON.

All you need in order to do the exercises is a browser for testing and a plain text editor. The exercises in this book are simple and straight to the point. There is no need to download Bootstrap, NodeJS or any other support library or framework, just use a plain old fashion text editor and you’re ready to go.
