If you are a curious JavaScript developer interested simultaneously in tweaking the efficiency of your code, as well as improving the conciseness of it, and maintaining the readability of it, then this is the book for you. Ideally, the book is intended for readers already working on JavaScript projects and using frameworks such as jQuery and Backbone. Even if you re already using Lo-Dash, this book will show you how to use it efficiently. While extensive JavaScript experience isn t a requirement, you should have at least some prior programming experience in order to best understand the concepts presented.
