Eloquent JavaScript is a book providing an introduction to the JavaScript programming language and programming in general.

The book exists in two forms. It was originally written and published in digital form, the HTML version of which includes interactive examples and a mechanism for playing with all the example code. This version is released under an open license.

I am publishing a revised version of the book on paper, which will come out early in 2011. The structure of this version remained largely the same, but the whole text has been thorougly edited and updated. You can pre-order from Amazon here. There is still an interactive coding environment for this version, as a separate page.

Daar zijn drie redenen voor. Over een papieren boek betalen we 6 procent BTW, over een e-book 19 procent. Omdat een boek een ‘cultureel goed’ is. Een e-book natuurlijk ook, maar zover is de besluitvorming nog niet. Daarnaast kost het digitaliseren van een boek geld. Denk aan digitale beveiliging, websitekosten en administratieve afwikkeling. Ook moeten schrijver en uitgever hun inspanningen terug verdienen.
