Renowned programming author Cay S. Horstmann covers all you need to know, in small chunks organized for quick access and easy understanding. Horstmann’s practical insights and sample code help you take advantage of all that’s new, avoid common pitfalls and obsolete features, and make the most of modern JavaScript’s robust tool chains and frameworks.
