An everyday JavaScript reference, from strings and collections to async work and design patterns. Every example comes with an explanation, and most of them run. • 23 sections: basic types, arrays and collections, classes, files, serialization, functions and arrow expressions, exceptions, regular expressions, async operations, databases, algorithms, design patterns. • Run in the app: the example actually runs and the output appears under the code. Needs an internet connection. • What changed in new versions: 10 sections from ES2015 to ES2024, with the old and the new code side by side. • Keyword and function reference: over 170 articles, open in full, with no daily limit. • SQL alongside: over 200 queries against a live practice database (JOIN, GROUP BY, subqueries, data types). • Edit examples and add your own; they stay in the app and are always at hand. • Search looks inside the code itself, not just the titles: remember a fragment and you will find the example. • Everything except running works offline. No account needed. WHAT THE FREE VERSION INCLUDES 12 runs and 12 edits a day; the counter resets every morning. The keyword reference is open without limits. Up to 5 examples of your own. The full version unlocks every example, lifts the daily limits and raises the run limit to 30 a day. One purchase, no subscription. Built by a developer for developers. In active development since 2015.
