Summary of getify/You-Dont-Know-JS

The "You-Dont-Know-JS" is a popular GitHub repository maintained by Getify (Kyle Simpson). This repository hosts a series of books that dives deep into the core mechanisms of JavaScript. The series aims to explore JS in a detailed and comprehensive way, prioritizing understanding of the language over just practical frameworks or libraries related use-cases.

The books in the series are structured as:

"Up & Going" covers basic foundation of programming, as well as introductory parts of JS.
"Scope & Closures" deals with variable scope and closure.
"This & Object Prototypes" covers the this keyword and prototypes.
"Types & Grammar" explores the coercion mechanism in JavaScript and type-related topics.
"Async & Performance" talks about promises, generators, and performance.
"ES6 & Beyond" discusses ES6 features and future JS features.

This repository strongly believe in the concept that, to master JavaScript, one must start by understanding the nuances and corners often skipped by common learning resources. Each title in the series takes on complex parts of the language not commonly discussed, explains them with depth and detail, and provides sufficient insight to enable readers to use JS more effectively.
