JavaScript in Depth (Manning)

Written by core Node.js and TC-39 committee contributor James M. Snell, JavaScript in Depth teaches you what’s really happening when JavaScript handles asynchronous tasks, manages memory, or interacts with system APIs. This interesting and entertaining book is filled with insights that help you reason better about your code, your tools, and your runtime environments.

James M. Snell

This book isn’t a quick skim through syntax or a list of patterns. It’s aimed at people who already write JavaScript regularly and want a better grasp of why the language behaves the way it does. The focus is on the parts of JavaScript that tend to make or break complex codebases: how functions actually work under the hood, how the language handles memory, what really happens inside the event loop, and how async logic flows once you get past the surface-level explanations.

Rakesh goes into the details in a way that still feels grounded—lots of examples, lots of reasoning, not just rules to memorize. If you’ve ever hit a strange bug, stared at it long enough to question your own sanity, and then discovered that the language was doing something subtle behind the scenes… the book spends a lot of time on those moments.
