Start building beautiful web applications in JavaScript with the bestselling introduction to the language, updated with new features, fresh exercises, and fun projects.

Simple for beginners to pick up, JavaScript is a flexible, lightweight language for building full-scale applications for the modern web. This much-anticipated fourth edition of Eloquent JavaScript shows you how to write beautiful, effective JavaScript code. It has been updated to reflect the current state of both JavaScript and web browsers, discussing new features like optional chaining, nullish coalescing, class properties, private fields, and newly standardized methods. Chapters on asynchronous programming, objects, and modules have been overhauled to reflect modern JavaScript style and improve readability.

This bestselling book teaches through extensive examples and immerses you in code from the start, while exercises and full-chapter projects give you hands-on experience with writing your own programs. As you build projects, like a website and a pixel art editor, you’ll:

Understand the essential elements of JS programming, including syntax, control, and data

Organize and clarify your code with object-oriented and functional programming techniques

Use the DOM effectively to interact with browsers

Script the browser and make basic web applications

Harness Node.js to build servers and utilities

Isn’t it time you became fluent in the language of the web?
