Short introductory book on JavaScript

teachingJS

This repository contains an short introductory book on the JavaScript programming language. It is still far from complete, but it already aggregates a lot of information.

Status

• A lot of basic topics are already covered, but the chapter on inheritance needs some overhaul and discussions on builtin object's are missing.
• References are broken.

Building

The build directory contains builds from the latest snapshot of the book (sometimes including untracked files). PDF-builds are coming soon. There is no need for you to build the book yourself, but if you want to:

• Linux/Mac OS: Using the Makefile you can build an HTML page from the markdown source. You need to have make and pandoc installed.
• Windows: Safest bet is to go with cygwin, awk, make and pandoc.
