How I propose to use current technology to help you learn JavaScript in half
the time, with half the effort.
Cognitive portion control. Testing showed me that when they're doing hard-core learning, even strong-minded people get tired faster than I would have expected. You may be able to read a novel for two hours at a stretch, but when you're studying something new and complicated, it's a whole different ballgame. My testing revealed that studying new material for about ten minutes is the limit, before most learners start to fade. But here's the good news: Even when you've entered the fatigue zone after ten minutes of studying, you've still got the mental wherewithal to practice for up to thirty minutes. Practice that's designed correctly takes less effort than studying, yet teaches you more. Reading a little and practicing a lot is the fastest way to learn.
500 coding examples that cover every aspect of what you're learning. Examples make concepts easy to grasp and focus your attention on the key material covered in each chapter. Color cues embedded in the code help you commit rules to memory. Did I go overboard and put in more examples that you need? Well, if things get too easy for you, just skip some them.
Tested on naive users. The book includes many rounds of revisions based on feedback from programming beginners. It includes extra-help discussions to clarify concepts that proved to be stumbling blocks during testing. Among the testers: my technophobe wife, who discovered that, with good instruction, she could code—and was surprised to find that she enjoyed it. For that matter, I got a few surprises myself. Some things that are simple to me turned out not to be not so simple to some readers. Rewriting ensued.
Free interactive coding exercises paired with each chapter—1,750 of them in all. They're the feature that testers say helps them the most. No surprise there. According to the New York Times, psychologists "have shown that taking a test—say, writing down all you can remember from a studied prose passage—can deepen the memory of that passage better than further study." I would venture that this goes double when you're learning to code. After reading each chapter, go online and practice everything you learned. Each chapter ends with a link to its accompanying online exercises. Find an index of all the exercises at http://www.ASmarterWayToLearn.com/js/.
Live coding experience. In scripting, the best reward is seeing your code run flawlessly. Most practice sessions include live coding exercises that let you see your scripts execute in the browser.
