You Don't Know JS RU is a Russian translation of a comprehensive book series on JavaScript fundamentals.
The project addresses the need for JavaScript learning resources in Russian by translating the "You Don't Know JS" series, which covers core language mechanisms including scope and closures, the this keyword and object prototypes, types and grammar, asynchronous programming and performance, and ES6 features. The translation makes these technical deep-dives accessible to Russian-speaking developers who want to move beyond surface-level JavaScript knowledge.
Russian-speaking developers seeking thorough explanations of JavaScript's internal workings should consider this resource. It suits anyone building a foundation in the language who prefers learning materials in Russian. The project explicitly welcomes contributions to improve code snippets, explanations, and correct errors, positioning it as a collaborative translation effort rather than a static document.
The first edition of the book series is complete, with all six volumes available to read online for free alongside links to purchase physical copies and e-books.
