JavaScript: Enter The Dragon
summary
Claims that JavaScript is mature but widely misunderstood and refuses shortcuts like CoffeeScript or GWT when real bugs demand raw JS. Explains the six essentials developers actually need: types and type coercion, operators (especially + and ==), objects vs primitives, functions as functions/objects/constructors, closures, and prototypes — even a forced five‑minute prototype demo. Practical, opinionated, and focused on concrete pitfalls rather than architecture trends or aesthetics.
