Book
Dokushu JavaScript, New Edition (Self-Study JavaScript)
CodeMafia
Summary
A Japanese-language JavaScript textbook that covers the language from basic syntax through how the this keyword resolves depending on how a function is called, how variable scope and closures behave, and the order in which Promise chains and async/await resolve. The seventeen chapters move from variables, operators, and control flow into functions, scope, the this keyword, and classes, then built-in objects, collections, and iteration, and close with the DOM, events, modules, and a chapter on Node.js. The chapters on the this keyword and asynchronous processing use diagrams to trace call sites and execution order step by step. The book stays focused on the language itself, without a chapter on any specific frontend framework.
Target Readers
- Developers new to JavaScript who want the language's fundamentals covered in depth rather than framework specifics
- Engineers who want scope, closures, the this keyword, and async execution order treated as their own chapters, before taking on a framework
