# A Smarter Way To Learn Javascript by Mark Myers

This is an excellent book for those still warming up to Javascript. The chapters cut right to the point of each concept they're exploring in a conversational tone, and encourage coders to follow along with online exercises they provide. A fellow Epicodus student has read through the book a few times and still finds great value in it.

# A Philosophy Of Software Design by John Ousterhout

Written by a professor of computer science at Stanford, this one offers a fun perspective as to what kinds of code are preferred in the coding world (especially in regards to debugging). While it may not be as useful of a tool during your time at Epicodus, it invites discussion among other coders (across all coding languages) as to what makes good code good and preferred programming styles. This one is a little dense, but a fun read if you're into that sort of stuff.
