This book changed my perspective on javascript. Incredible. The writing style is warm and engaging. This is the kind of book that stays with you long after finishing. I couldn’t stop reading once I started. Everyone should read this at least once.

Hey there! Just finished reading this gem about programming - Heartwarming. It somehow made me laugh and think at the same time. Each chapter felt like chatting with a really smart friend. The tone was super inviting without dumbing things down. I loved how it mixed serious insight with friendly storytelling. Big thumbs up from me!
