Douglas Crockford’s blog offers a deep dive into programming, language design, and software architecture through the eyes of one of JavaScript’s most influential thinkers. Rather than simply report news or tutorials, the entries range widely—covering topics from language features like x64 registers and the lambda riddle to playful explorations of obscure subjects such as “Silence Letters” or “Plain Old JavaScript and the DOM.” With a style that’s as much philosophical and reflective as it is technical, Crockford invites readers into a long-view conversation about how we build software, how languages evolve, and what it all means—often with wit and irreverence, but always with depth.

JavaScript: The Definitive Guide (7th Edition) by David Flanagan is a modern, comprehensive reference to JavaScript (updated through ES2020). It starts by building up the language from the ground, covering types, expressions, statements, and objects, then expands into advanced topics like classes, modules, iterators, generators, Promises, and async/await. The later sections focus on both web APIs (DOM, canvas, events, graphics) and Node.js (streams, files, processes). Flanagan’s seventh edition also trims outdated content (e.g. jQuery, old IE tricks) to stay more focused and relevant.
