An amazing resource
This book has been an invaluable reference to me. Being a programmer I understand the logic, but each language has its own structure, this book did an amazing job breaking everything down

Beginner-Friendly
This book really lived up to its “for beginners” title. I never felt lost, and the author broke things down in a way that made sense without throwing around too much jargon. The real-world examples helped me see how JavaScript is used outside of just tutorials, which kept me motivated. One small downside is that the book doesn’t dive into some of the newer JavaScript features — it sticks more to the basics. That’s fine for beginners, but if you’re hoping to learn the very latest updates, you might need a follow-up resource. Still, as a foundation builder, it’s fantastic. I’d recommend it to anyone starting from scratch and wanting a friendly, step-by-step approach.

Not your average theory textbook
Lots of practical advice and examples here. Pleasantly surprised with the detailed info as well as the author taking the time to explain how to set up your environment and get to grips with the browser console. This beginner thanks you!

The Perfect Bridge from JS Basics to Building AI Apps
I bought this book with a very specific goal in mind: learning the fundamental JavaScript skills to build user interfaces for artificial intelligence-based applications. I am not interested in building static web pages; I want to build interactive applications that can communicate with AI models. This book was just the right starting point.Even though the whole book is great, the combination of Chapter 15 (DOM Manipulation & Event Handling) and Chapter 16 (Working with APIs) was pure dynamite to me. It’s where theory is converted to practice. The Event Handling part was the deal-breaker; I understood immediately that listening for a ‘click’ event on a button is where you begin to provide a user’s input to an AI.AddEventListener’s description in the book gave me the tool to capture user input, and I was already thinking about how I would combine that with the Fetch API from the next chapter to post that data to an AI service such as OpenAI or Google’s AI. I would then use the DOM manipulation methods (such as createElement and appendChild) from the same chapter to display the response of the AI back on the screen. This is the very workflow of a modern AI web app, and the book outlines the underlying skillset for it beautifully.If you’re in my shoes—self-taught to code with features toward building AI-powered utilities—this book is definitely worth reading. It gives you the practical, browser-focused JavaScript skills that you plain need to create a working frontend. It’s an excellent, no-nonsense introduction to get you started.

What I liked most about this book is that it actually lets you build things instead of just reading about code. Each chapter teaches a new skill—like working with the DOM or using APIs. The explanations are easy to follow, the projects are practical, and the step-by-step style really helped me feel more confident. It made learning JavaScript feel less intimidating and a lot more exciting.

I’ve always struggled to get started with coding, but this book finally made it click. The explanations are clear, and the step-by-step projects helped me actually see results on my screen right away. I loved the practical exercises like the weather app—it made learning fun instead of overwhelming. Great for anyone new to coding who wants a hands-on start.

Great book! Really easy to follow and made learning JavaScript actually fun. I feel much more confident now and can’t wait to keep practicing. im only a beginner, so its all really overwhelming. the book makes it easy to follow, but its still a skill that you cant learn and master in a day. i will keep practicing and using tips from the book!

Great opening doors work that compiles all the basic info about JavaScript in one place. Perfect starting point for anyone wanting to learn the language without getting overwhelmed. The hands-on projects make concepts stick, and it covers everything from DOM manipulation to APIs. Good foundation that builds confidence as you go along.

This book makes learning JavaScript feel approachable and exciting. The explanations are clear, the projects are practical, and the step-by-step guidance builds real confidence. I especially loved how each chapter adds a new skill—DOM manipulation, API integration, even Node.js—without feeling overwhelming. Perfect for beginners who want to actually build things instead of just reading about code.
