JavaScript Patterns by Stoyan Stefanov

Rating: ☆☆☆☆☆

JavaScript Patterns

Covers the basics and principles of writing Javascript with plenty of examples of good usage and reasons to design things in certain ways. In addition to Javascript-specific patterns, the author also applies common design patterns (the Gang of Four patterns) to Javascript and much more. This book is deceptively slim considering the amount of information packed into it.
