This is a series of books diving deep into the core mechanisms of the JavaScript language. The first edition of the series is now complete.
Please feel free to contribute to the quality of this content by submitting PR's for improvements to code snippets, explanations, etc. While typo fixes are welcomed, they will likely be caught through normal editing processes, and are thus not necessarily as important for this repository.

If you like the content you find here, and want to support more content like it, please purchase the books once they are available for sale, through your normal book sources. :)
If you'd like to contribute financially towards the effort (or any of my other OSS work) aside from purchasing the books, I do have a patreon that I would always appreciate your generosity towards.
Since the author does not accept PRs on generating EPUB or any readable content, this repository is only meant to gather the existent books and organize them into ebooks in the EPUB format. All the content and the credits goes to Kyle Simpson for the book, I was just the guy who got the public content here and generated an EPUB.
In order to do so, you'll need pandoc. Once installed make sure it is available through your shell and run the generate-epubs.sh file in the root folder.
If you wish to know more about how I got this idea and how I did it, look at this tutorial.
Mobi files for Kindle are not included here
The content for these books derives heavily from a series of training materials I teach professionally (in both public and private-corporate workshop format): "Deep JavaScript Foundations", "Rethinking Async", and "ES6: The Right Parts" workshops.
If you like this content and would like to contact me regarding conducting training on these, or other various JS/HTML5/node.js topics, please reach out to me through email: getify @ gmail
I also have some JS training material available in on-demand video format. I teach courses through Frontend Masters, like my Deep JavaScript Foundations workshop. You can find all my courses here.
Some of those courses are also distributed on other platforms, like Pluralsight, Lynda.com, and O'Reilly Safari Online.
Any contributions you make to this effort are of course greatly appreciated.
But PLEASE read the Contributions Guidelines carefully before submitting a PR.
