Description

If you're an advanced beginner or intermediate JavaScript developer, JavaScript Enlightenment will solidify your understanding of the language--especially if you use a JavaScript library.

  • Examine the creation of JavaScript objects
  • Learn complex values, primitive values, scope, and inheritance
  • Understand the importance of the head object
  • Work with string, number, and Boolean objects and values
