I have been writing software since the time when ALL phones had wires. And I have been working with HTML since the birth of the Internet.This is the most thorough and complete reference I have ever seen. I learn something new simply browsing the pages!You cannot work as a developer on the web without touching Javascript.The introduction to Javascript in this book is equally valuable for an “old-salt” like me who has bad habits from days-gone-by or someone approaching it anew.Some of those quirky things about Node and the less-oft-used jewels in Bootstrap are collected here in a single reference.I highly recommend purchasing this in electronic format; “search" is an essential tool when you need to find something.The section on Angular is right up-to-date with recent changes, making it highly valuable as a resource.I am already a big fan of Packt Publishing. This is another great guide from Packt.

This is without doubt one of the best guides for web applications development. I'd recommend this book to anyone who is embarking on a journey to become a web developer.

This book has a very good index and table of contents. It is also written like a cross between a classroom text and reference book. Most sections begin with some discussion of the language and enough background to clear up some basic terms and orient you to what the scope of the section / chapter is.I think they do a good job providing short examples that are easy to read and provide enough depth so you can actually see how a particular function works. They also provide narrative for things that are not obvious including the examples. The book is completely absent of war stories or anything rehashing the history of computing since ENIAC, thank goodness! Historical passages are short and relevant to understanding the content in my opinion.The books use of English is a little odd for me as an American but it's not a problem. If you've worked with diverse international teams, you'll be fine. If you haven't some things might take a 2nd or 3rd read. I don't think this is really any better or worse than other programming books. Developers tend to use English in strange ways anyway ...Last and not at all least, I have not stumbled into any technical errors, inaccuracies, or stylistic conventions I would consider unacceptable.What I would like to see are references or discussions about uniform conventions that almost seem like they are part of the language. For instance the use of "e" to pass and event object into a Javascript function. For beginners or folks like myself trying to transition into a different technology these 'little' things can take hours to sort out.
