This book was built upon two online courses I wrote for the French EdTech startup OpenClassrooms:
- Learn to code with JavaScript (Apprenez à coder avec JavaScript)
- Use JavaScript in your web projects (Créez des pages web interactives avec JavaScript)
Thanks to Jessica Mautref for her watchful eye during the writing process, and to Emily Reese for the initial English translation. Both also contributed many good ideas.
I've been inspired by other authors who decided to publish their books in an open way: Kyle Simpson, Nicholas C. Zakas, Axel Rauschmayer and Marijn Haverbeke.
