I marked it as free because you can read it on Github in full, but it is available through O'Reilly as well.

As an aside, I have no commercial affiliation with Kyle Simpson. (edit) or with O'Reilly

👍

Definitely a worthwhile addition.

I agree too, YDKJS is a brillant serie, as well as "Secret of the JavaScript Ninja" which isn't free but worth it !

👍 x 100!

@jhare it is indeed a great series of books, but all the topics that he covers are covered by other books here.

I know, there are several excellent books outside this list, but the point here is to be as concise as possible.

Maybe we can create a system to suggest complementary books. 💡

What I think is:

• open an issue with the name of the book
• put a label representing which section that the book fits
• who that want to recommend the same book should comment in this issue describing why he/she thinks that is valid invest time to read this book. OBS: should be at least a short commentary, not just a 👍

What do you guys think about it?

@GatoBlabla "Secret of the JavaScript Ninja" is a great book too, but they're doing a second version of this book.

I'm a big fan of YDKJS, but don't agree that it should be placed under Advanced JavaScript. That term is a little broad, and might be mistaken to imply that none of the other books are advanced. My suggestion is JavaScript Semantics, which really captures what the book series teaches: Understanding how the language actually behaves.

But I agree it is advanced. And in depth. And a deep dive.

I struggled with finding the right term and agree with your "semantics" one
much more.

I'll take some time this evening to craft an issue the way @ericdouglas specified and we can go from there. Thanks!

Agreed 100%.

@jhare 👍 💯

+1

@jhare now we have an Additional resources section, and the "You Don't Know JS" series was included. 😄
