“JavaScript The Good Parts” by Douglas Crockford is one of the most subjective books on JavaScript because it dares to divide JavaScript language specifications into good parts and bad parts.

Most of good parts are well-known, but not widely used. I can see they are fully and correctly used in JavaScript frameworks or toolkits but they are rarely or inappropriately used by page designers.

For me, sections on bad parts are much useful. I tell “===” from “==” but I have never used “===” just because I, as a Java programmer, am not familiar to it. The book helps use bad parts less rather than use good parts more.
