Summary

David Flanagan's seventh edition, updated for the 2020 version of the language, works bottom-up from JavaScript's own syntax and semantics, types, expressions, objects, and functions, before adding chapters on classes, modules, iterators, generators, Promises, async/await, and metaprogramming that weren't in earlier editions. The second half moves from the language itself to the platforms it runs on, the browser and Node.js, treating them as separate concerns from the language core. Nearly 25 years after the first edition, it's still written as a reference to keep beside you rather than a tutorial to finish once, and it assumes you already write JavaScript.

Target Readers

• JavaScript developers who know the language well enough to ship but want the precise semantics behind async/await, generators, or the module system
• Engineers moving between the browser and Node.js who want language fundamentals covered separately from either platform's APIs
• Developers who learned JavaScript piecemeal from tutorials and want one reference to fill the gaps
