The information is quite dense however, and I thought the appendixes were extremely valuable. It weighs in at a very light 145 pages, 45 of which are appendixes. I’ve seen it mentioned before that people complained about the book being a bit short. While focusing on the “good parts” of Javascript, Crockford also points out the not-so good parts and explains why these other parts don’t fall into the good category by pointing out caveats and pitfalls. Topics like Objects, Inheritance, Arrays, Functions and Regular expressions are discussed throughout the book. JTGP does as promised…it brings to attention the best parts of the Javascript language.
Even Eich himself called Crockford “the Yoda of Lambda JavaScript programming.” What’s Covered? While Brendan Eich may be the father of Javascript, Crockford is probably the Godfather. Crockford has been responsible for many highly regarded articles and presentations, as well as for his incredible work with JSON, JSLint and much more. When I first heard Douglas Crockford was writing Javascript: The Good Parts (let’s just call it JTGP from here on out) I was anxiously awaiting the release.
