HISTORY

Historically, this project was supposed to be an experimental Apple 'NewsStand' application.

After some weeks of work, we discovered that having a functionnal application wasn't enough.

You also have to follow various Apple guidelines and use some Apple libraries to be 'NewsStand' compatible.

So we decided to go full web and this move gave JSbooks a much wider audience.

Thanks Apple to give us this opportunity :)

jsbooks's Issues

License

Hi, I think this is a great idea and I'd love to re-use some parts of this site for books on other topics (e.g. python). I imagined the site code was open-source but couldn't see a license and wanted to clarify before I did any re-using :-)

new books

http://www.buildbrowserapps.com/chromeappbook/

Build Browser Apps Using Google Chrome

How to write standalone packaged applications for the Google Chrome browser using Javascript. The book will teach you how to build and test an application through a step by step process.

http://singlepageappbook.com/

This free book is the book I would have wanted when I started working with single page apps. It's not an API reference on a particular framework, rather, the focus is on discussing patterns, implementation choices and decent practices.

http://blogs.msdn.com/b/microsoft_press/archive/2012/10/29/free-ebook-programming-windows-8-apps-with-html-css-and-javascript.aspx

This book is about writing Windows Store apps using HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. Our primary focus will be on applying these web technologies within the Windows 8 platform, where there are unique considerations, and not on exploring the details of those web technologies themselves.

Make index.html work offline

It would be nice if one could test one’s additions locally before pull-requesting, by opening index.html as a file: URL. In order to do that, only relative URLs should be used and all necessary files included.

UI suggestion: faceted navigation

Let me elaborate on my previous idea of adding faceted navigation to JSbook.
At the beginning, enumerate facets (categories of tags):

  • Language: English, French
  • Level: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced
  • Topic: CoffeeScript, HTML5, Browser Framework, Node.js, language (etc.)

Each of these tags has a checkbox. If a tag is checked, only entries that have this tag are shown. Additionally, you obviously also need to appropriately tag all entries.

The Links do not work

Hi,

I have been trying to get to http://jsbooks.revolunet.com/. But chrome always gives me error saying "Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to jsbooks.revolunet.com". Not sure its the issue with my internet connectivity (Other sites like gmail and everything works fine though) OR some issue form the server itself. Please look into these ASAP..

Same thing happen for http://pythonbooks.revolunet.com/

Thanks.

Logo for JSbooks

Hi
I wanted to contribute to JSbooks and I designed a logo for JSbooks. If you like it, you can use it. I'll send you files, is there anything you want ?
js books
Best Regard.

Make book title and cover image clickable

If you turned the book titles and the cover images into links then I think you won’t even need the “OPEN” buttons. My guess is that users will intuitively know that they have to click either the cover or the title.

Request to add language as an attribute for each book.

#13 already addresses this, but haven't seen any updates on that for a while. If language can be added in the interim, I think it would be helpful to at least some people. Also, it wouldn't take too much time to implement it.
I could raise a PR with language added as an attribute to each book. ex.

{
  "lang": "en"
}

presentation

We should have more space for the book description (and/or a way to expand it) and we should always present the full title.

Decide on a spelling for JSbooks

Forgive the nit-picking, but I have seen two ways of spelling JSbooks:

  • Title tag of web page: JSBooks
  • GitHub, logo: JSbooks

Both are OK, in my opinion, but the spelling should be consistent.

Access Denied

I think you guys should drop this book (or) update a working link.
html5-book

Remove/update some of my books

The two following “books” are out of date and at least partially included in “Speaking JavaScript”. They can be removed from the list.

  • “Basic JavaScript for the impatient programmer”
  • “The past, present and future of JavaScript”

Additionally, “Speaking JavaScript” is suited for all levels (including beginners, they only have to know how to program).

Thanks!
