About this title: Most programming languages contain good and bad parts, but JavaScript has more than its share of the bad, having been developed and released in a hurry before it could be refined. This authoritative book offers a detailed explanation of the features that make JavaScript an outstanding object-oriented programming language, and warns you about the bad parts. In the process, "JavaScript: The Good Parts" defines a subset of JavaScript that's more reliable, readable, and maintainable than the language as a whole. Author Douglas Crockford, a member of JavaScript 2.0 committee at ECMA, is considered ...

"A nice critique of JavaScript as a programming language, pointing out some of its design flaws as well as some of its more elegant features. I would have liked this more if it had more discussion about the design patterns the 'good parts' are good for. It was also lacking material on some fundamentals of the runtime, in particular memory management."
"I can't recommend this book highly enough, if you are going to get one book on javascript get this one. It's an incredibly quick read and concentrates on showing you a subset of javascript which is more portable, safer and more secure. While it's a slim book it's dense in information"
"I watched some video lectures given by Douglas Crockford at Yahoo! and it caused me to wholly reassess my view of JavaScript as both a useful and general purpose language, and I expect some neat stuff from this book."
