Dove into this one on javascript and didn’t regret it. Laid-back. Honestly, I’d bring this on a weekend trip. Good one to keep around when you want something casual.

I had such a great time reading this one! It's all about javascript, and - Heartwarming. The tone was super inviting without dumbing things down. It somehow made me laugh and think at the same time. Definitely recommending this to a few people already.
