Thank you, this is very useful.

Given the results so far, reading this as if it were a textbook is almost 
certainly a recipe for disaster.

Debatable.  Much will have to be unlearned after reading this book because 
it is outdated; see the reviews in the FAQ.

I have not read this, but judging from the title it is almost certainly
not a good idea.  Any “Learn X in Y days” is not.  Regarding ECMAScript 
implementation*s*, it takes about _a decade_ to fully appreciate these 
language*s* if one is a quick study with an open mindset, and a regular 
(best: full-time) practitioner.  BTDT, BTST.
