I definitely wouldn't assume that a JS newbie knows the http fundamentals. That definitely wasn't the case for me when I started learning. You can get a lot done on the web without really understanding what you're doing.

Maybe but it makes this book only good for true newbies. There's plenty of tutorials for complete newbs but no good book for people who want to master modern pure JS
