Must Have, under $40 is a steal!, July 14, 2014

Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: JavaScript and JQuery: Interactive Front-End Web Development (Paperback)

I received the book last week and already found myself lost into it. I have the HTML & CSS book as well; these books are great references for any level of coding. I took a 10 week Front-End Web Development course from General Assembly and it was pretty rough, I had no coding experience at all and struggled through the JavaScript portion. This book is amazing, it offers great illustrations of all codes and the results. I've read a handful of coding books and by far this one of the best, if not the best. I would say this would be close to a magazine if anything, just the format itself is gorgeous, it's not heavy on the text like other books and everything is color-coordinated so you can easily follow along. If you hate reading lengthy, lackluster coding books, then is the book for you. Definitely worth the investment!

Was the 10 week course from General Assembly worth it? I'm thinking of going to one of those coding bootcamps as well.

Better off checking out jPassion website....for $139/year, you have access to one of Sun's evangelists, Sang Shin...there's plenty to do/learn and he offers codecamps, too! He's speaking at JavaOne 2015 in San Francisco and it costs over $2K just to go to that! Really? I'm brand new to Java, JQ, JS, MySQL, etc.,....am amazed at the intellectual capital available at this site...you can check out the testimonials as well.

Good Luck!
