Show HN: The JavaScript Way, a book for learning modern JavaScript from scratch
I just got home from teaching JavaScript to a room full of people who've never written a line of code in their life.<p>This book is missing something critical that most intros to JavaScript overlook:<p>How does the student set up the plumbing and run their code?<p>It's amazing how much of a hump this is for many trying to get started. It also amazes me how oblivious most of us programmers are to it.<p>"Just open Chrome Dev Tools" or "put this in a file and run Node" are really strange computer tasks to someone who has never typed and executed code.
