For example, while he documented the Array.unshift() method, he also pointed out that the same functionality could be achieved using the Array.splice() method. One repeated pattern that I found to be hugely effective was when Crockford demonstrated how to mimic a particular native function using other native functions. He really goes through the important parts of the Javacript language and explains how things work. Rather, it is just a thought-provoking, well written, thorough exploration of the Javascript language.įrom a technical standpoint, Crockford does a great job. However, having just read it, I can tell you that this book is not magical and it didn't cause my head to explode. With so much hype, I half-expected my brain to start bleeding from its excellence. Written by the famous Douglas "Papa" Crockford, this book has been recommended to me countless times by many developers. I've been hearing about "The Good Parts" for years. I went into this book with extremely high expectations. On my flights to and from cf.Objective(), I finally read Javascript: The Good Parts by Douglas Crockford.
