Courses Plus Student 5,887 PointsAny good JavaScript book?
Hello, ive been doing the JavaScript courses here at Treehouse, and i like the "Basic" and the "Loops, array, object" "jQuery basic" the most, the other ones like "Interactive webpages" are not so well explained as he writes the code.
And i was wondering if there are any books out in the world, that cover the basic and even to the complex stuff about JavaScript and even jQuery so i can get a full grasp about the JavaScript language, because the courses after the basics one are very difficult (Interactive webpage)
So i thought a book would suit me well?
So anyone who has any good book in mind?
Kind Regards
Erdrag

I highly recommend "JavaScript & jQuery" - Jon Duckett. It's really affordable (about $30) and by far the best JavaScript book I've come across. It explains things so clearly and at a really nice pace. Just like with the videos, make sure you practice as you learn.
