Re-sharpen your JavaScript Skills

I placed my order on June 2nd, when Peter-Paul first annouced he had a book coming out. I've been a fan of QuirksMode.org for years.

In the early days of my programming career I would read every technical book I got cover-to-cover, but the last couple years I've been buying reference style books like the Cookbook series from O'Reilly (which are very good of course) and just reading the bits that interest me.

After a cursory review of PPK on JavaScript, after it arrived yesterday, I see this is one I most certainly will read right through.

Many web developers may think they're beyond learning more about JavaScript, but I'm looking forward to re-sharpening my skills. Modern web applications these days are screaming out for smarter client-side support, and this book is a must.

Thank you Peter-Paul, all the best!

QuirksMode on JavaScript - the book!

I've been reading, and learning, Peter-Paul Koch's QuirksMode website for years - his JavaScript knowledge, articles and code samples provide real-world solutions.

This morning Peter-Paul annouced his book is finally on it's way, and I wasted no time in pre-ordering my copy (I couldn't click the link fast enough, :-b). This is a must-have book!

Awesome work Peter-Paul, I very much look forward to reading the book. And a big Thank You to all your effort and contributions! You deserve every bit of success for your book!
