JavaScript Brain Teasers: Exercise Your Mind
Over the years, JavaScript has gained a bit of a reputation for its quirky and unique characteristics. It’s important for developers to be aware of these quirks to write more robust and predictable JavaScript code. In this book, we invite you on a journey designed to unveil the intricate nuances and peculiarities that define the language’s essence.
Learn how to simulate function overloading, embed hidden information within objects, develop self-contained functions capable of maintaining their own local state, generate number sequences using functional programming, handle exotic forms of IIFEs, and prevent loss of precision when dealing with large numbers. Grasp concepts like closures, hoisting, symbols, execution context, event queue, text normalization, and more, one puzzle at a time.
Discover how to create your own custom objects that function as shortcuts, accurately calculate the length of emojis and Unicode characters, master the usage of the “this” keyword, leverage bitwise operators, and convert color names to hex notation for universal use across various platforms. Plus, steer clear of those usual traps and blunders that trip up JavaScript developers.
Forget passive learning. With JavaScript Brain Teasers, you’ll actively engage with code puzzles that require creative thinking and problem-solving, which help you memorize difficult concepts.

I love these kinds of books--fun and a great way to explore the interesting aspects of a wonky language. Each of the little puzzles within presents a short snippet of code and a challenge to essentially identify what's wrong with it. You can pick up and read through one of the 50 challenges in a few minutes--maybe pick one for the "brain teaser of the [work] day," and you'll have enough to last you a couple and a half months.

Engaging and Insightful JavaScript Challenges
The puzzles are well-designed to help you think creatively, write efficient code, and avoid common pitfalls. However, some challenges might feel a bit advanced for beginners, and you’ll need a modern JavaScript environment (ECMAScript 2020+) to follow along.
Overall, it’s a great pick for developers looking to sharpen their skills while having fun solving JavaScript quirks.
