Professional JavaScript

Good for someone with experience in programming including Javascript, since it does go into more advanced techniques later in the book, but also great for someone to gain a better understanding of Javascript. It fits the requirements of javascript developers: I wasn't sure which book to start with. Since they are quite different and I'm a pretty experienced Javascript developer I opted to start with this.

Shows the code of each task in snippets and omits the whole code put together. Snippets are from different files as well. You need to refer to the downloaded code to see the whole examples completed. I found this really annoying and an unorganised way of learning. The formatting of the book looks like it was copied and pasted from MS word which doesn’t make for pleasant viewing and I would say (just like packt’s fullstack react projects book) makes for ugly representation. Too bad for me Packt disappoints once again and I should of listened to previous reviewers of packt: JavaScript algorithms book who also said they’re not up to scratch and the code was in separate places. O’Reilly seem to just do it better. Their JavaScript book is miles better and cheaper!
