Humans behind Just JavaScript

Just JavaScript will help you develop a rock-solid understanding of how JavaScript works through intuitive visual explanations and learning challenges.

Bringing Just JavaScript to you is a collaboration between Dan Abramov, Maggie Appleton, and the team behind egghead.io. Dan and Maggie created the content, while the rest of the team provided planning, design, development, and delivery support.

Dan and Maggie collaborated to design and create the Just JavaScript material. Dan developed the mental models featured over many years. He and Maggie worked together to explore how to explain these models through visual metaphors and illustrations to create an in-depth, effective, and delightful learning experience. Dan wrote the chapters and quizzes and Maggie created the visual explanations and illustrations.
