JavaScript serves as the primary programming language for the web, and is currently utilized by more software developers than any other language. It is often claimed to be the backbone of modern web development, enabling developers to build interactive, dynamic, and feature-rich user experiences. As technology evolves, JavaScript has expanded far beyond its initial role of adding basic interactivity to websites, now serving as the foundation for full-stack development, mobile applications, and even machine learning projects.

As a best-selling guide for almost 25 years, JavaScript: The Definitive Guide has been an essential resource for any JavaScript programmer seeking to gain mastery over this versatile programming language. With rich, detailed insights into every facet of JavaScript, it is both a treasure trove for beginners and an invaluable reference for seasoned professionals.

Now in its seventh edition, JavaScript: The Definitive Guide has been thoroughly updated to align with the 2020 version of JavaScript. New chapters have been added to address key topics such as classes, modules, iterators, generators, promises, async/await, and metaprogramming, all supported by clear and engaging example code.

JavaScript: The Definitive Guide delves into the core pillars of JavaScript, including fundamental concepts like variables, control structures, and functions, before progressing into advanced topics such as closures, asynchronous programming, and the intricacies of prototypal inheritance. It also sheds light on JavaScript’s modern features introduced in ECMAScript updates like ES6 and beyond, tackling arrow functions, destructuring, promises, and modules.
