Which sections were interesting?

• The initial chapter 3 'quirks' were interesting, as was a lot of the explanation regarding function expressiona and declarations.
• Objects and their properties -- Feel like I'm starting to mentally put together what OOP will look like with JS
• The fact that the inverse of 'strict mode' is called 'sloppy mode', at least in chap 17.

Which sections did you totally skim?

• By the third "variation on IIFE" section I started to skim those.
• Property attributes and property descriptors. The "advanced topic. You normally don’t need to know how they work." suggested it might not be worth my time. Already felt like info overload.
• Most of the rest of chapter 17.

Do you think the reading was valuable?

• Yes, but maybe a little too much. I think by the end I forgot some of the things I found interesting earlier on.

Which topics were notably confusing?

• IIFE stuff is hazy for me
• Handling closures via environments
• When to use .bind() vs .apply() vs .call() -- Understand some mechanics but not necessarily when to use which.
• The vast majority of chapter 17 once you get about 1/3 of the way in.
