Fancy seeing this here, some days after finishing the third version :)

I'm also glad to see the asynchronous programming chapter significantly reworked - it was materially weaker than the rest of the book because of some weird analogies involving crows and their nests that didn't seem to make any sort of sense to me.

The third edition also gave me the impression that it was a reasonable book to learn JS and the DOM (and a sprinkle of Node.js, for good measure), but that it was a book aimed primarily at experienced people who were transitioning to JS and the web - not beginners (despite the book's efforts at claiming suitability for beginner programmers).

I am glad I am not the only one. I believe he over-abstracted it to it's own detriment.

I went to purchase a paperback earlier this week. Now I will wait for this one to hit print.

Ah! I vaguely remember rage quitting over the crows but didn't remember which book was it. I should give this another try then.
