You Don't Know JS (book series)

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. It is written by Kyle Simpson and published in source code in his github repo. As I wanted to read it on the go, I added some scripts to create ePub books from it.

Titles

• Up & Going as ePub
• Scope & Closures as ePub
• this & Object Prototypes as ePub
• Types & Grammar as ePub
• Async & Performance as ePub
• ES6 & Beyond as ePub

Installing and making the epub, PDF and HTML books

This copy of the original Github repo has been modified: It contains scripts to build the books as epub, PDF and HTML. To generate those books:

1. If you have not already done so, install:

   • git <http://git-scm.com/>_
   • make <http://www.gnu.org/software/make/>_ (OS X users should install XCode and download the command line tools <http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9329243/xcode-4-4-command-line-tools>_.)
   • pandoc <http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc>_
   • latex <http://www.latex-project.org/>_ (OS X users should probably install MacTex <http://tug.org/mactex/>_.)

2. From the book directory (i.e. ./async & performance), type make. This generates three versions of the book in a build/ directory.
