JavaScript Allongé

Javascript Allongé is one of my favorite programming books ever: https://leanpub.com/javascript-allonge/read. I think it's a great book even if you don't program Javascript, because the way Braithwaite talks about programming language techniques is so interesting. I had been programming Javascript for a long time before I read this back, and afterward, it changed my whole point of view on how it could be used.

Seconded! I thought I knew a lot about JavaScript but this book explains some fundamental things about how JavaScript works that I'd never seen before, not including all the combinator goodness.

Javascript Allongé by Reg Braithwaite was an incredible book, not just for changing how I viewed Javascript, but it also taught me a lot about programming as a whole. It taught me a lot of lessons in factoring functions into orthogonal concerns that have been highly influential on my coding style in all languages ever since.
