Enjoying this so far! One initial comment is that I'm not sure the JS examples should all be embedded in an HTML page; why not code them to be run in node which means you can scrap the `script` tags and use `console.log` which is shorter removes the need for including line breaks.

Because he considers his readers.

I can guarantee that a staggeringly high percentage of the readers have access to a web-browser capable of executing JavaScript (probably 100%). The percentage of the readers with Node installed will be necessarily lower.
