About this book

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.
