Not only was Stoyan Stefanov nice enough to submit an excerpt of his book, JavaScript Patterns, to Nettuts+, but we also have ten digital copies available to give away to our community! Personally, I’m roughly 75% finished with the book, and it’s fantastic. Similar to his previous book, “Object-Oriented JavaScript,” Stoyan has an uncanny ability to make high level techniques and concepts as easy as possible to understand. Even if you don’t win a copy, “JavaScript Patterns” receives my highest recommendation.
Update: Winners Announced!
Congratulations to the following Tweeters for winning a copy of JavaScript Patterns!
- Dine: Always specify the second param (radix) to parseInt(string, radix) #jsEdu

Hope to win!
I was just browsing amazon.co.uk looking for JavaScript books when I saw the tweet. Just tweeted my best practice tip…
Sounds like a good read XD
Always use Try…Catch Statement
It may be useful for all webdevelopers to check if there is an error or not.
for example:
try
{
//Run some code here
}
catch(exception e)
{
//Handle errors here
}
.#jsEdu
try {
book.winaCopy();
}
catch (e) {
console.log(‘Boohoo’);
for (var i=0; i<100; i++) {
alert(':(');
}
}
Looks like a great read. I love giveaways!

Isnt this a little flawed? Surely the readers whod benefit most from this book are the ones who arent in a position to give succinct JS tips over Twitter. Why reward the readers who have little to learn from a book like this?
The book is actually for Intermediate to advanced programmers.

My JavaScript best practice tip? When all else fails, ask someone better at JavaScript than you. Or am I the only person who bugs co-workers with development questions?
Use a js pattern:
function myObject = function(){
//private space
var secondsPerMinute = 60;
function getSecondsFromMinutes(minutes){
return minutes * secondsPerMinute;
}
// the returned object is the public space
return {
getSecondsFromMinutes: getSecondsFromMinutes
}
}
myObject.getSecondsFromMinutes(3) //return 180!
Oppps, I’ve forgot the
function(){
….
}();
Any thoughts on when the winners will be announced?
And the list of winners?
Perhaps there are no comments that are worth to be rewarded with a book :( …?
Yeah, where is the list of winners? Cheers!
At the top.
I don’t mean to be a sore loser, but I don’t understand how a comment I posted days before someone else can land them a win…?
Because it’s partially random.
Ah, ok then. Makes more sense–wasn’t sure how you’d go through all those posts to determine the 10 best.
Thanks,
J
