"This book provides the beginning programmer with the fundamental concepts of good program design, illustrated and reinforced by hands-on examples using JavaScript. This book is not about learning JavaScript; it's about learning programming concepts, techniques, and best practices, using JavaScript as a tool to examine and test each idea. Programming is introduced as a craft, with the correct tool applied to each task. Principles of Program Design is about learning to 'think like a programmer, ' applying the right problem-solving skills and programming tools to a situation."
