For nearly 25 years this best seller has been the go-to guide for JavaScript programmers. The seventh edition is fully updated to cover the 2020 version of JavaScript, and new chapters cover classes, modules, iterators, generators, Promises, async/await, and metaprogramming. You’ll find illuminating and engaging example code throughout. This book is for programmers who want to learn JavaScript and for web developers who want to take their understanding and mastery to the next level. It begins by explaining the JavaScript language itself, in detail, from the bottom up. It then builds on that foundation to cover the web platform and Node.js. Topics include: Types, values, variables, expressions, operators, statements, objects, and arrays Functions, classes, modules, iterators, generators, Promises, and async/await JavaScript’s standard library: data structures, regular expressions, JSON, i18n, etc. The web platform: documents, components, graphics, networking, storage, and threads Node.js: buffers, files, streams, threads, child processes, web clients, and web servers Tools and language extensions that professional JavaScript developers rely on Review: Climb this Mt. Everest of books - the view is amazing! - I've read hundreds of computer books as a hobbyist and self-learner. This is by far the most concise and well written I've ever read. I'm beginning my JavaScript journey in order to learn Typescript in order to learn Deno and I had to get a handle on the various levels of JavaScript 'archaeology' so I can make sense of the massive ecosystem of tools and documentation. JavaScript has undergone massive changes and growth in its lifetime and it's hard to know what's useful and what's outdated leftovers as you peruse the net looking for resources. Just get this book - it's incredibly well crafted, the writing style stays consistent from start to finish (a lot of books turn to utter crap at about two thirds) and there are incredibly useful nuggets of information that explain complicated topics in a paragraph. I will be re-reading this book in about a year. I look forward to it immensely because the author has created an absolute masterpiece in technical writing. Hat's off, Flanagan! Review: The best book about Javascript I've read so far - I'm a professional software engineer that uses several different languages on a regular basis including C++, C#, Python and Javascript. This book is without doubt the best one I have in my collection that focuses on Javascript. Being a busy programmer I appreciate the fact that each paragraph is loaded with useful information so I don't have to skip over useless conversational, waste of time text. The book can certainly be read from cover to cover. It's writing style is engaging enough. However, the immaculate organization and presentation of the chapters makes this book really shine as a reference. This is the book I go to when I need to look something up. It even replaces my previous favorite Nicholas C. Zakas excellent 'Understanding Ecmascript 6'. I also love the short and easy to understand code samples. Again being a busy programmer I loathe having to waste time trying to decipher a weighty chunk of example code just to learn a simple feature. There's nothing wrong with toy code examples if they get the point across. David Flanagan leaves nothing out and reaches right up to the ES2020 standard. It truly is a definitive guide to Javascript. If you buy only one Javascript book I highly recommend you get this one! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #73,537 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #3 in JavaScript Programming (Books) #8 in Cloud Computing (Books) #15 in Object-Oriented Design | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,540 Reviews | ## Images ![JavaScript: The Definitive Guide: Master the World's Most-Used Programming Language - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91hUer84PpL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Climb this Mt. Everest of books - the view is amazing! *by 1***1 on April 26, 2025* I've read hundreds of computer books as a hobbyist and self-learner. This is by far the most concise and well written I've ever read.

Hat's off, Flanagan! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best book about Javascript I've read so far *by K***M on November 29, 2020* I'm a professional software engineer that uses several different languages on a regular basis including C++, C#, Python and Javascript.

Is it worth "upgrading" that old copy on your bookshelf? First, if you have any edition prior to the 6th edition the answer is a definitive, "Yes!" There is no question that so much has changed since 2006 which is when the 5th edition was published. JavaScript feels like a whole new language since then (not really, but significant changes in the last 14 years have happened). But, what if you have the 6th edition? What did David Flanagan change? Overall, the 7th edition comes in at 40% smaller than the 6th edition. Do you keep both? Nope. The 7th edition is much better thought through and eliminates much of the old and adds in important new things. Seven chapters on "client-side" JavaScript are condensed into one "JavaScript in Web Browsers" chapter. The topics within that chapter are a much tighter presentation of the material you need to know. If you really need to know more about JavaScript and CSS or JQuery, go look to references on these topics. Flanagan was right to trim that fat from this book. In the 6th edition, there were barely 20 pages focused on server-side JavaScript. Now there is a good chapter dedicated to "Server-Side JavaScript with Node". Finally, he has added a whole new chapter on tools and extensions. In other words, Flanagan has caught up with how JavaScript is really used. The remaining changes are around the fundamentals. He has added information on symbols and has greatly reworked chapters on object and classes as one would expect. Modules have been split out into their own chapter. And, he has added a good "summary" section to each chapter. Overall, I think the book has been "refactored" in a good way. It is much tighter. And, certainly more relevant to modern JavaScript programming. Of course, JavaScript will continue to evolve so I expect future editions will continue. But, this edition feels like a checkpoint one should mark. I have done so and my 6th edition is being duly donated. ## Frequently Bought Together - JavaScript: The Definitive Guide: Master the World's Most-Used Programming Language - CSS: The Definitive Guide: Web Layout and Presentation - HTML and CSS: Design and Build Websites --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kr/products/174689113-javascript-the-definitive-guide-master-the-worlds-most-used-programming](https://www.desertcart.kr/products/174689113-javascript-the-definitive-guide-master-the-worlds-most-used-programming) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Korea* *Store origin: KR* *Last updated: 2026-05-09*
