I had such a great time reading this one! It's all about programming, and - Smart. Each chapter felt like chatting with a really smart friend. It somehow made me laugh and think at the same time. I loved how it mixed serious insight with friendly storytelling. Big thumbs up from me!

Not gonna lie, I was pretty curious about javascript, so I gave this a shot. Laid-back. Honestly, I’d bring this on a weekend trip. The writer doesn’t overdo it—just solid points and good flow. Good one to keep around when you want something casual.
