JavaScript: The Good Parts
Ratings27
Average rating4
JavaScript, having been developed and released in a hurry before it could be refined, has more than its share of the bad parts. This book scrapes away these bad features to reveal a JavaScript subset that's more reliable, readable, and maintainable than the language as a whole-a subset you can use to create extensible and efficient code.

JavaScript is my language... But it is seriously quirky. I can only imagine trying to understand it coming from another programming language! This book does an excellent job advocating for JavaScript, while telling you the common pitfalls!
A good enough primer on the (many) warts of ES5 Javascript. Enough to get one up and running with the language.
