Best of Javascript 2016: Newsweek - Dressed-Up and Colorized (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781535205450)

The computer ignores so-called "white space" except as the blanks, tabs, newlines, formfeeds, and comments separate tokens. As a consequence, only the rare coders - in fact, maybe only the elusive "code poets" - are fastidious about how they are visually presenting in their code. The rub is that the worst torture anyone can inflict upon a coder is making him or her read another coder's code. Such as during the the "code walk-throughs" which are part and parcel of the software development process performed at industrial scale. Enter the so-called "code stylist" - akin to the "food stylist" whose calling is to make a dish look good for the camera. Code reviews are arguably more effective after a code stylist has dressed up the code and maybe even colorized it. C and Java are encrypted into 1's and 0's but Javascript abounds in clear text. Using what is available, Francis Gurtowski tries his hand at code rendering. He offers sample source code and a corresponding keyword cross reference in a single volume.
