You Don't Know JS Yet @YDKJS

@alexandereardon That book has a newer second edition (complete re-write), and I strongly recommend reading/referencing it instead of the first edition: github.com/getify/You-Don…

I've always recommended Kyle Simpson’s YDKJS books as the JS counterpart to my @CSSSecretsBook. Now he’s raising funds to finish out the remaining 4 books in his second edition book series. Take a look and back his effort, it’s worth it! kickstarter.com/projects/getif…

The "You Don't Know JS" series by Kyle Simpson helped me to embrace the depths of the JavaScript language with clarity. I cannot overstate it's impact on me I *try* to read @YDKJS annually Kyle is currently raising funding for the second edition: kickstarter.com/projects/getif…

I was pretty lucky to get to write the foreword to the first book, Get Started. I still think this is the new, best "let's teach you JS" book on the market and it's worth sponsoring its completion, particularly because it's free to everyone who wants it kickstarter.com/projects/getif…

@bothzoli Heh, stickers are a great idea. I may try to add some add-on rewards like that during the campaign. I'll look into it. :)

Regardless of where you are on the JavaScript love/hate spectrum, knowledge === power. A better understanding of this quirky language can make *you* more powerful, productive, and less frustrated. kickstarter.com/projects/getif…

@gmcconnaughey O'Reilly stopped publishing books (in the traditional sense) years ago. I've been self-publishing books for the last 5 years now, including the first two books of this second edition already.

OK, the response to the poll (and on linked-in) was great, much better than expected. Let's see how this goes! Here's the pre-launch page for the @Kickstarter campaign, which will go live very soon: kickstarter.com/projects/getif… Please sign up there to be notified, and also RT/share!

If we ran a crowd-funding campaign to get the rest of the 4 second-edition books written, this is what it would look like:

@isntitvacant My take: node is still CJS-first, and always will be. ESM tacked on is fine, but Node isn't ESM-first. I embrace this. I author in CJS, and use Moduloze to up-transpile to ESM for those who want it, and Import-Remap for making those ESM work in browser. Works fine.
