Modular JavaScript is an open effort to improve our collective understanding of writing robust, well-tested, and modular applications. The series consists of five books, each of which explores a key aspect of JavaScript development — comprehensively. The books are produced in the open: anyone can track their progress, report issues & contribute fixes or content. A free-to-read version is available online! Digital & print books can be purchased through O’Reilly Media. The crowdfunding campaign launched last week on Indiegogo!
