JavaScript
As the only language that can be executed inside web browsers, JavaScript is an essential part of every programmer’s toolkit. Learn Enough JavaScript to Be Dangerous is designed to get you started writing practical and modern JavaScript programs as fast as possible, using the latest JavaScript technologies (including Node.js and ES6), with a focus on the real tools used every day by software developers.
Unlike most JavaScript tutorials, Learn Enough JavaScript to Be Dangerous treats JavaScript as a general-purpose programming language right from the start, so the examples won’t be confined to the browser. The result is a unusually broad and solid foundation not only for web development, but for computer programming generally.
To be productive with JavaScript, you don’t have to know everything about it—you just have to learn enough to be dangerous.
Ruby
Ruby is an elegant object-oriented programming language with applications ranging from shell scripting and package management to full-stack web application development. Learn Enough Ruby to Be Dangerous is designed to get you started writing practical and modern Ruby programs as fast as possible, with a focus on the real tools used every day by software developers.
Learn Enough Ruby to Be Dangerous broadly follows the structure of Learn Enough JavaScript to Be Dangerous, which can be studied either before or after this tutorial. Because many of the examples are the same, the tutorials reinforce each other nicely—there are few things more instructive in computer programming than seeing the same basic problems solved in two different languages.
To be productive with Ruby, you don’t have to know everything about it—you just have to learn enough to be dangerous.
