Then this is the book for you With this book you'll get a great introduction to JavaScript and ES6 from a C# perspective. You'll learn the most common pitfalls and weird behaviors and end up enjoying writing JavaScript just as much as you do C#. And it has wizards Imagine... imagine you lived in a world were you could use JavaScript to change the universe around you, to tamper with the threads that compose reality as you know it and do anything that you can imagine. Well, welcome to the world of JavaScript-mancy, where wizards, also known as JavaScriptmancers, control the arcane winds of magic wielding JavaScript to and fro and command the very fabric of reality. We, programmers, sadly do not live in such a world. But we do have a measure of magic in ourselves, we have the skills and power to create things out of nothingness. And even if we cannot throw fireballs or levitate (yet), we can definitely change/improve/enhance reality and the universe around us with our little creations. Ain't that freaking awesome? Well, I hope this book inspires you to continue creating, and using this beautiful skill we share, this time, with JavaScript;). This is the first book of the JavaScript-mancy series. Within its mysterious pages you'll find: * A great introduction to the JavaScript language full of fantasy inspired examples and exercises * A detailed look at the new and awesome ES6 features in a historical context, highlighting why they exist and which problems they're trying to solve * A lot of references to C# that will make it super easy for C# developers to wrap their heads around JavaScript and its quirks. (This also extends to developers familiar with strongly typed languages) * A breathtaking story of EPIC proportions and awkward sense of humor...
