Eloquent JavaScript (Haverbeke)
( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)
This is a book about JavaScript, programming, and the wonders of the digital. JavaScript lies at the heart of almost every modern web application, from social apps like Twitter to browser-based game frameworks like Phaser and Babylon. Though simple for beginners to pick up and play with, JavaScript is a flexible, complex language that you can use to build full-scale applications.
