Javascript tutorial book
A Chinese-language JavaScript tutorial book covering browser JS, DOM, Node.js, and the BOM, written by Ruan Yifeng. It's explicitly deprecated — the author has moved everything to a new repo. For Chinese-speaking developers who somehow find this before the new one, it's a dead end.
- Broad coverage for its era: grammar, OOP, stdlib, DOM, BOM, Node.js, and even WebRTC and WebWorkers in one place
- Written by Ruan Yifeng, whose writing is known for being clear and practical rather than spec-parroting
- Static Jekyll site with clean structure — easy to fork and self-host or read offline
- Explicitly deprecated since April 2023 — the README points you elsewhere immediately, so there's no reason to be here
- Content reflects pre-ES2020 JavaScript at best; sections on tools (Grunt, Bower, RequireJS, PhantomJS) are museum pieces
- Chinese-only, which limits the audience, and the successor repo is also Chinese-only — not a resource for English-speaking developers at all
- 5,377 stars represent historical traffic, not current relevance — the repo is a redirect in disguise
