High Performance JavaScript: book review

I have catches this YUI theater video a few days ago, promoting a new JavaScript book. The podcast is great, and the High Performance JavaScript book is a must have for any serious JavaScript developer

Although I knew about 70% of the tricks the authors describe here, I still gladly spend the $35 at Barnes & Noble to own this book as a reference. It is a nice overview, of what really matters, in optimizing your JavaScript app. I like the fact that it is written from several perspectives, and each author really gives his best.

Here are the chapters

  • Chapter 1 Loading and Execution
  • Chapter 2 Data Access
  • Chapter 3 DOM Scripting
  • Chapter 4 Algorithms and Flow Control
  • Chapter 5 Strings and Regular Expressions
  • Chapter 6 Responsive Interfaces
  • Chapter 7 Ajax
  • Chapter 8 Programming Practices
  • Chapter 9 Building and Deploying High-Performance JavaScript Applications
  • Chapter 10 Tools
